- Abstract
Studies suggest a genetic influence on levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Levels of IL-1beta in GCF, however, are also dependent upon the clinical parameters at the site of collection, including probing depth (PD) and level of attachment (AL). To examine this issue, IL-1beta in GCF was evaluated from patients with varying degrees of periodontal disease. The influence of both the status of the patient and the probing depth at the sampled sites were considered in the analysis.
