Evaluation of Salivary Galectin-8, Galectin-9 and RANKL Levels of Individuals With Different Periodontal Diseases
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is; detection of Galectin-8, Galectin-9 and RANKL levels in saliva samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples of saliva were obtained from 60 systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=20), gingivitis(G, n=20) and healthy periodontium (S, n=20). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine Galectin-8, Galectin-9 and RANKL levels in the biological samples.
