About
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that causes destruction of periodontal tissues. IL-20, on the other hand, is known as a potent angiogenic, chemotactic, and pro-inflammatory cytokine associated with various chronic inflammatory disorders. IL-20 has a significant role in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of IL-20 on periodontal destruction.
In the study, a total of 60 participants were included, 30 of whom were systemically and periodontally healthy (control group) and 30 of whom were systemically healthy and had periodontitis (periodontitis group). GCF and serum samples were collected from the participants for biochemical analysis. ELISA method was used to determine IL-20, TNF-α, IL1β/IL-10, RANKL/OPG and MMP8 levels
