Salivary Enzyme Levels After Scaling and Interleukin‐1 Genotypes in Japanese Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

Abstract

These results documented that salivary AST, ALT, and LDH levels reflect inflammation and destruction of periodontal tissue, suggesting clinically useful markers following periodontal therapy. In addition, although IL-1A+4845 alleles may not influence clinical parameters, they may influence post-scaling values of salivary AST and ALT.
