ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Interleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a wide range of protective and destructive effects in periodontitis. The role of IL-23 is stabilisation and expansion of Th-17. The aim of this study was to assess whether patients with aggressive and chronic periodontitis exhibit different gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 compared with clinically healthy subjects.
Material and methods:
GCF samples were obtained from 32 patients: 10 with chronic periodontitis (CP), 12 with aggressive periodontitis (AgP), and 10 healthy controls (HC). IL-23 and IL-17 concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Comparison of study groups was performed with ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to assess correlations between the variables.
Results:
IL-17 concentration was significantly higher in the healthy group compared to the AgP and CP groups (p < 0.001), but there were no significant differences between the CP and AgP groups. IL-23 levels in the healthy group were significantly higher than that in the AgP group (p < 0.001). Cytokine concentrations did not correlate significantly with probing depths and clinical attachment levels.
Conclusions:
Gingival crevicular fluid concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 were significantly higher in the healthy group compared to periodontitis groups.
