Study of Immune-Inflammatory Response Changes in Oral Fluid in Patients With Diseases of Periodontal Tissues in Combination With General Somatic Pathology

Abstract

The aim: To determine the concentration of markers of the immune-inflammatory response (IL-1β, IL-10, IL-1β / IL-10, hsCRP) in oral fluid in patients with diseases of periodontal tissues in combination with general somatic pathology. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, Department of therapeutic dentistry FPGE, Lviv, Ukraine. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group – 144 patients (with periodontal tissue diseases on the background of general somatic pathology) and the control group – 30 somatically and dentally healthy persons, in whose oral fluid was determined the concentration of IL-1β, IL-10, hsCRP by the enzyme immunoassay method. Results: As a result of our research, it was found that in people with periodontal tissue diseases, against the background of general somatic pathology, there is an activation of the immune-inflammatory response, which aggravates the course of general somatic and dental diseases in this contingent of patients. Conclusions: Therefore, in patients with periodontal tissue diseases on the background of somatic diseases, a significant increase in the level of the pro-in¬flammatory cytokine IL-1β and hsCRP was determined against the background of a decrease in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the oral fluid compared to the values in the control group.
