Changes in Gingival Crevicular Fluid Interleukin-4 and Interferon-gamma in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis Before and After Periodontal Initial Therapy

Cytokines are pivotal to the immune response of chronic periodontitis. The present study investigated the changes of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in patients with chronic periodontitis before and after initial nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT...
