Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) has been described as an anti-inflammatory cytokine and IL-10 gene polymorphisms was associated with altered interleukin-10 levels, therefore, we aimed to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the association of IL-10 genetic polymorphisms with the risk of both chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP).
