Association study between salivary levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-21, and IL-22 with chronic periodontitis
Highlights • IFN-γ and/or Th17 cytokines might play a role in the etiopathogenesis of CP. • Saliva samples may reflect the biological changes related to tissular damage observed in CP. • Disease status showed a strong association with salivary levels of IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-22 ratio. • Th17 cytokines...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • IFN-γ and/or Th17 cytokines might play a role in the etiopathogenesis of CP. • Saliva samples may reflect the biological changes related to tissular damage observed in CP. • Disease status showed a strong association with salivary levels of IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-22 ratio. • Th17 cytokines were not of predictive value for health/disease status. • Age stratum showed a synergistic interaction effect on IFN-γ levels. |
