Objectives The holy grail of biomarker research in periodontology is to develop a high
impact diagnostics which have a significant impact on clinical decision-making, patient …

Research into biomarkers of periodontitis is driven by mainly three targets: to identify 'at
risk'patients before periodontal tissue destruction occurs; to determine disease activity and …

Visfatin is considered an inflammatory biomarker in periodontal disease (PD). In this meta-
analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between Visfatin biomarker level with PD. In …

Objective Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease associated with systemic factors.
Visfatin is a pleiotropic adipokine that exerts metabolic and immune functions. Studies have …

Gingivitis and periodontitis are common bacterial infections caused by a variety of
microorganisms. Despite the microorganisms' roles as etiologic agents, inflammation …

Objectives Visfatin is an adipokine that plays an important role in immune functions as a
growth factor, enzyme, and pro-inflammatory mediator. We aimed to determine the levels of …

There is little known about the effect of the periodontopathogen Filifactor alocis on
macrophages as key cells of the innate immune defense in the periodontium. Therefore, the …

Background: Adipokines enhance the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs), which play a role in extracellular matrix degeneration. The aim …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of salivary and serum interleukin
(IL)-1β, visfatin, and omentin-1 in the relationship between periodontal disease and …

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the protein and gene expression of leptin
and visfatin in gingival tissue from patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), patients with CP …
