Evaluation of milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor VIII and IL-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid and saliva in periodontal disease and health.

The aim of this study is to determine the levels of MFG-E8 and interleukin (IL)-1β in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) associated with periodontal health and disease. Whole saliva and GCF samples were obtained from systemically healthy participants who were either periodontally healthy (n = 24) or suffered from gingivitis (n = 25) or chronic periodontitis (n = 25). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements, including bleeding on probing, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, and clinical attachment level were also recorded.

Comparison of piezocision and discision methods in orthodontic treatment.

Background: Discision method may provide an alternative to the piezocision approach in accelerated orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of discision on accelerated orthodontic tooth movement in comparison to the piezocision method in moderate crowding Angle Class I malocclusions.

Methods: Thirty-five female individuals were included in this clinical study.
