Brief Title: Endocan, VEGF and TNF-alpha Levels in Periodontal Disease and After Treatment
Official Title: Effect of Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment on Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Serum Endocan, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Levels
Study ID: NCT02750956
Brief Summary: The primer aim of the study was to determine serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) endocan levels in periodontal diseases pathogenesis supported with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels.
Detailed Description: The study consist of three groups: periodontally healthy individuals (group 1; n = 20), individuals with generalized chronic periodontitis (group 2; n = 20), the same patients with chronic periodontitis after they had been treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) were considered as Group 3. Clinical measurements were recorded; GCF and serum samples were obtained from each participant before and 6 weeks after therapy. Endocan, VEGF-A and TNF-α levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
