Estimation of Interleukin-21 Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in Patients With Periodontal Health and Disease Following Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy: A Clinico-biochemical Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating non surgical periodontal therapy for Chronic Peridontitis Patients and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 34 participants.
Detailed Summary
Human IL-21 is present in gingival crevicular fluid in periodontal health, gingivitis and chronic periodontitis. A significant increase in the concentration of IL-21 in gingival crevicular fluid is observed with an increase in the amount of periodontal destruction. Non- surgical periodontal therapy aided in decrease of GCF IL-21 levels in clinical gingivitis and chronic periodontitis

Timeline
Interventions
and root planing (SRP) was performed in two to four appointments lasting approximately 60 minutes each under local anaesthesia (2% lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:2,00,000 adrenaline) using area specific Gracey periodontal curettes and an ultrasonic device. The treatment was concluded in 3 weeks. Within the duration of the study, all subjects received supportive therapy, which included professional plaque control and reinstruction of oral hygiene.
