Abstract excerpt
Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues caused by dental biofilm and mediated by the host immune response. Interleukin-1 is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated in periodontal inflammation, connective tissue breakdown, and disease progression. Beyond microbial and environmental factors, genetic polymorphisms affecting interleukin-1 activity contribute to...
