Article Synopsis
- Periodontitis is linked to systemic chronic inflammatory diseases, but there's limited understanding of how anti-cytokine therapies affect periodontal health and microbiome in such patients.
- This study involved 13 patients, assessing their periodontal status and gingival fluid before and 14 weeks after starting anti-cytokine treatment, with a focus on changes in the microbiome.
- Results showed a significant increase in microbial diversity, suggesting improvement in periodontal health, indicating a need for further research on the effects of biological treatments on periodontal conditions.
