The effect of periodontal health and disease on interleukin 1β and nesfatin-1 levels in gingival crevicular fluid: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease associated with dental biofilm, poses a significant threat to oral health. This study explores the roles of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and nesfatin-1 in periodontal diseases, aiming to contribute to the molecular understanding of their pathogenesis.

Material And Methods: A diverse cohort of 62 participants was recruited, spanning ages 20 to 60, and categorized into healthy, gingivitis, and periodontitis groups.

Association between raftlin and presepsin levels with periodontal healthy and disease conditions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between Raftlin and Presepsin levels in periodontal healthy/diseases, hypothesizing a change in their levels. Also, the study aimed to determine their potential role in diagnosing and predicting the prognosis of periodontal diseases.

Design: A cross-sectional study design was used, including 20 periodontally healthy individuals, 21 gingivitis patients, and 21 periodontitis patients.

Effect of peri-implant disease on oral health-related quality of life in geriatric patients.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of peri-implant disease on the quality of life in geriatric patients using implant-supported overdentures.

Background: Peri-implant disease and bone loss are two main complications of dental implant treatment that can impact the quality of life in the geriatric population.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 109 geriatric individuals treated in the prosthodontics and periodontology departments.
