The aim of this study is; detection of interleukin(IL)-38, IL-36 gamma(γ) , IL-17 and matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum samples of periodontally healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients and the possible correlation between these values and clinical parameters of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: Samples were obtained from 90 systemically healthy non-smoker individuals with periodontitis (P, n=30), gingivitis(G, n=30) and healthy periodontium (S, n=30). Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were also recorded. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine IL-38, IL-36γ, IL-17 and MMP-9 levels in the biological samples.
