Detailed Description
Forty-nine patients with periodontitis and 47 healthy subjects (HS) were enrolled in the present study. Enrolled patients were examined and characterized for clinical and blood samples analysis, and salivary IL-6 levels. The Spearman Correlation Test and Jonckheere-Terpstra Test were applied in order to assess the interdependence between salivary IL-6 levels and clinical periodontal parameters.
