Abstract:BackgroundBidirectional positive relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been recognized, interleukin 17 (IL‐17) and developmental endothelial locus‐1 (Del‐1) are proposed to play roles in periodontitis and T2DM. This study aims to investigate the association of IL‐17 and Del‐1 in patients with periodontitis with and without T2DM by measuring their salivary levels.MethodsA total of 80 participants were enrolled in a cross‐sectional study and divided into healthy (H, n = 27), … Show more
