The Influences of Periodontal Status and Periodontal Pathogen Quantity on Salivary 8‐Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and Interleukin‐17 Levels

Abstract

There was a strong association between salivary 8-OHdG and IL-17 levels and periodontitis. Variation in the salivary 8-OHdG level was correlated with variations in the clinical parameters, whereas variation in the IL-17 level was correlated with variation in the microbial parameters.
