Participants or experimental system

Periodontitis, the sixth most prevalent global disease affecting 50-90% of the population, is characterized by progressive destruction of periodontal tissues, causing gingival recession, periodontal pockets formation, alveolar bone loss, tooth mobility, and eventual tooth loss.1,2 Its pathogenesis involves complex interactions between specific pathogens and host immune responses, leading to irreversible periodontal damage.3 Therefore, it is imperative to elucidate the underlying immune mechanisms to enhance therapeutic approaches for this condition.

Intervention or exposure

Not reported in the declared source.

Comparator

Fifty-seven periodontitis patients and fifty-seven healthy controls were included to assess the levels of LL-37 and FPR2 in gingival tissues, gingival crevicular fluid and GFs, as well as to assess their correlation with disease progression.

Outcomes examined

The publicly available GEO dataset GSE1613438 was obtained from the National Center of Biotechnology Information for analyzing the expression of LL-37 and FPR2 in healthy and inflamed gingival tissues.
