Association of Periodontal Status and Smoking With Salivary Inflammasome Markers
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between periodontal status and salivary levels of the inflammasomes NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP-3), NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP-6), NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 12 (NLRP-12), NOD-like receptor family, CARD domain containing 5 (NLRC-5), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Furthermore, this study aims to investigate whether the salivary levels of these inflammasomes may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers for distinguishing individuals with periodontitis from those without. In addition, the potential role of smoking in modulating the relationship between periodontal status and salivary inflammasome levels will also be explored.
