Clinical Trial Summary

NLRP3 plays a key role in endothelial function and may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis and diabetes. The investigators compared the impact of gingival health, periodontitis (CP), diabetes or of both diseases (CP +diabetes) on saliva and serum NLRP3levels.

Description:

The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible association between NLRP3 and gingival health, periodontitis (CP), diabetes or of both diseases (CP +diabetes) on saliva and serum NLRP3 levels.
