Background, aims: Early onset periodontal diseases (EOP) are a group of inflammatory
disorders characterised by a rapid rate of periodontal tissue destruction, in young individuals …

Background: Genetic polymorphisms for interleukin (IL)‐1α and‐1β have been proposed as
potential genetic markers for periodontal diseases. Since the prevalence of these …

Adult periodontitis is a complex multifactorial disease whose etiology is not well defined. The
pro‐inflammatory and bone resorptive properties of interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) strongly …

Although specific bacteria, dental plaque, and age are associated with periodontal disease,
there are currently no reliable predictors of periodontitis severity. Studies in twins have …

Background: Several studies have investigated genetic polymorphisms for cytokines as
potential genetic markers for periodontitis. Some studies have found that interleukin (IL)‐1A …

Background: Periodontitis is a bacterial disease modified by multiple risk factors. The pro‐
inflammatory cytokine interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) is a key regulator of the host responses to …

Periodontitis is considered to be a multifactorial disease. Studies have indicated that part of
the clinical variability in periodontitis may be explained by genetic factors. Genes can affect …

Background: Polymorphisms within the interleukin‐1 cluster are known to be associated with
adult periodontal disease. However, interactions of genetic with other risk factors, especially …

Background: Genetic polymorphisms at interleukin (IL)‐1α and IL‐1β were recently
suggested to be associated with severity of adult periodontitis. We evaluated whether these …

Abstract Background/Aims: Early onset periodontitis (EOP), newly 'aggressive periodontitis',
is considered to have genetic basis, which have not been clearly defined. The interleukin‐1 …
