Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Different cytokine genotypes have been described in periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genetic association of two previously described interleukin-10 (IL-10) polymorphisms in patients with aggressive (AP) and chronic periodontitis (CP) and to investigate possible associations with clinical manifestations. METHODS: Based on clinical parameters and radiographs,...
