Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease, which is initiated by bacterial infection and
subsequently progressed by aberrant host response. It can result in the destruction of teeth …

Periodontitis is a term used to describe an inflammatory process, initiated by the plaque
biofilm, that leads to loss of periodontal attachment to the root surface and adjacent alveolar …

The pathological events leading to the destruction of the periodontium during inflammatory
periodontal diseases are likely to represent complex interactions involving an imbalance in …

Background: Recent data have demonstrated increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and
oxidative stress in periodontitis. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) …

For almost two decades, the Th1/Th2 paradigm has offered a productive conceptual
framework for investigating the pathogenesis of periodontitis. However, as with many other …

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of the
teeth. It is initiated by specific bacteria within the plaque biofilm and progresses due to an …

Background: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The total
antioxidant capacity (TAOC) of gingival crevicular fluid volume (GCF) and plasma appears …

Background: Interleukin (IL)‐11 and IL‐17 are cytokines that modulate the inflammatory
process and have not been assessed within normal or inflamed gingival tissues. Our …

Introduction: Cytokines are of major importance in periodontal disease progression.
Interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) stimulates interferon‐γ production by T helper type 1 (Th1) cells while …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with periodontal disease. Clinically, periodontal
treatment is less effective for patients with DM. Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms …
