Assessment of Interleukin-1? and Myeloperoxidase Levels around Implants versus Natural Teeth with the Impact of Aloe Vera
Abstract: Background It is essential that peri-implant and periodontal sites are studied to contribute comparison data for investigations that are dealing with diseased sites. The objective of this study was to compare the expression of host-derived markers interleukin-1 (IL-1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) with the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of contralateral natural teeth and to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Aloe vera gel on these biomarkers. Materials and Methods 20 subjects aged 25- 45 year who have one clinically stable titanium implant carrying a full ceramic crown and one contralateral natural tooth were enrolled in a split-mouth study. Clinical parameters were measured including Plaque index (Pl I), , Gingival Index (GI), Probing depth (PD). PISF and GCF were collected and the levels of interleukin-1 and myeloperoxidase were determined using ELISA technique at baseline and 2 weeks after application of Aloe vera gel. Results IL-1 level in PISF was higher than in GCF with no significant difference (p > 0.05) while MPO concentration was higher in PISF than in GCF with highly significantly difference (P 0.05) for IL-1 and highly significantly difference (P
