ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by microorganisms, resulting in the progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament.
Research motivation
Periodontitis impacts oral health and quality of life and is an important cause of tooth loss in adults.
Research objectives
We wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of dental pulp periodontal therapy in comparison to simple periodontal therapy for the treatment of severe periodontitis.
Research methods
We selected patients with severe periodontitis at our hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Research results
After treatment, the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) level of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the IL-10 level was significantly higher than that of the control group.
Research conclusions
Dental pulp periodontal treatment can improve periodontal condition and the overall treatment effect, and reduce the risk of complications to ensure the safety of treatment.
Research perspectives
The level of inflammatory factors reflects the prognosis of periodontitis treatment.
