Effect of Periodontal Therapy on Crevicular Fluid Interleukin-18 Level in Periodontal Health and Disease in Central Maharashtra (India) Population

Abstract: Aim:The incidence and progression of the periodontal disease depend on periodontal microflora and the multifaceted response of the host, and these interactions are mediated by cytokines and chemokines. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 superfamily. The aim of the present study was the assessment of the periodontal therapy in IL-18 level in periodontal disease and health. Materials and methods:Based on clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival index (GI)… Show more

“…IL-18 is produced in various cell types, including endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and adipocytes. It has also been suggested to be involved in periodontal inflammation since elevated IL-18 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva were found in patients with chronic periodontitis [16,17].…”

“…In both our analyzed groups, IL-18 values decreased after dental extraction. A study that evaluated this cytokine in healthy vs. periodontally involved patients observed a similar upward trend in periodontitis subjects; however, these values significantly decreased after nonsurgical periodontal therapy [ 34 ].…”

“…There is evidence that the IL-18 levels in GCF are elevated in adults with periodontitis [41]. This finding suggests a role for IL-18 in periodontal disease.…”
