Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The presence of pathogenic microorganisms associated with both chronic periodontitis and implant failure can induce a host immune response. The type of response is determined by an individual's genetic makeup. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relationship between interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) polymorphisms and patient susceptibility to chronic...
