CHANGES IN SERUM ICAM-1, SERUM VCAM-1, AND SERUM E-SELECTIN CONCENTRATION FOLLOWING PERIODONTAL SCALING AND ROOT PLANING

CHANGES IN SERUM ICAM-1, SERUM VCAM-1, AND SERUM E-SELECTIN CONCENTRATION FOLLOWING PERIODONTAL SCALING AND ROOT PLANING

Cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) and selectins are cell-surface proteins involved in the binding of cells to the vascular endothelium. Elevated levels of sCAMs and soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) have been reported in patients with periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine if period...
