  • Title: [Interleukin 1 (IL 1) in gingival fluid from patients with plaque induced gingivitis].
    Author: Petrow C, Dörfling P, Schulze HA, Sponholz H.
    Journal: Dtsch Stomatol (1990); 1991; 41(5):176-8. PubMed ID: 1816825.
    Abstract:
    The level of interleukin 1 in gingival fluid is determined in 17 volunteers with healthy gingiva and in 58 patients with gingivitis of different severity. Continously increased levels of local IL 1 are found in connection with increased plaque accumulation in the dentogingival sites and with exacerbating gingival inflammation. The relevance of IL 1 in gingival fluid as a sensitive indicator of plaque-associated gingivitis is discussed.
