Brief Summary:
Recently, it has been stated that Smads play an active role in all conditions where transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is involved, including periodontal inflammation. This study aimed to examine the levels of TGF-β and inhibitor Smads in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with Stage 3 Grade B periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Twenty (20) stage 3 grade B periodontitis and 20 periodontally healthy individuals were included in the study. Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded; periodontitis patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment, and GCF and saliva samples were obtained at baseline and one month after treatment. TGF-β, Smad6, and Smad7 were determined by ELISA.
