Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of basic periodontal treatment on the levels of endothelin (ET), vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid and serum. METHODS: A total of 57 patients with periodontitis (experimental group) and 43 healthy examinees (control group) admitted to Shenzhen Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from October to May 2018 were selected. Patients received subgingival scaling and root planing for 6 weeks. Then various indexes were compared, including bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), probe depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and gingival index (GI), as well as the levels of ET, VEGF-A and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid and serum. The correlation between ET, VEGF-A and TNF-α was analyzed. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0 software package. RESULTS: Periodontal indexes including BOP, PI, PD, CAL and GI in the experimental group were significantly increased after treatment (P<0.05), but still significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of ET, VEGF-A and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid and serum were significantly decreased in the experimental group after treatment (P<0.05), but significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The level of ET in gingival crevicular fluid was not significantly correlated with VEGF-A level in patients with periodontitis (P>0.05), while was positively correlated with VEGF-A levels (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Basic periodontal treatment can reduce the levels of ET, VEGF-A and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid and serum of patients with periodontitis, and improve the periodontal status; moreover, ET level in gingival crevicular fluid is positively correlated with TNF-α level.
