BACKGROUND: We previously reported a high prevalence of a combination of alleles 2 at positions interleukin (IL)-1A(-889) and IL-1B(+3954) in an Arabic population with gingivitis. In a steady state, the proportion of sites with bleeding on probing (BOP) was consistently reduced. The aim of the present study is to expand this observation by considering the site level. METHODS: Fifty healthy non-smoking volunteers,...
