TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the composite IL-1 genotype is significantly associated with the severity of adult periodontitis and confirmed that both IL- 1 genotyping and smoking history provide objective risk factors for periodontal disease in a private practice environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Increased Occlusal Contact, Interleukin-1 Genotype, and Periodontitis Severity on Gingival Crevicular Fluid IL-1β Levels
TL;DR: It is suggested that short-term discontinuation of occlusal splint therapy in non-smoking periodontitis patients undergoing periodontal maintenance does not result in potential signs of early Occlusal trauma (increasing mobility or GCF IL-1beta) and long-term studies may be needed to determine appropriate therapy applications.
