Summary

This case control-study measures the levels of Interleukin-17 in gingival crevicular fluid and placental tissue samples of pregnant females as a possible marker in determining whether or not an association exists between chronic periodontitis and preterm labor. Interleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose levels have been proven to increase in periodontal disease.
