Abstract

Background: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), a potent stimulator of bone resorption, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal tissue destruction. There is also a clearly defined and substantial role for free radicals or reactive oxygen species in periodontal destruction. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) is a commonly applied test to measure free radical activity. The aims of this study were to investigate the amount of crevicular IL-1 beta, tissue TBARS levels, and the clinical status of patients with advanced chronic periodontitis and the effect of phase I periodontal therapy on these clinical parameters and measurements.
