Summary

Ribonucleic acids (RNA) are molecules that transfer genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein translation. A subgroup of non-coding or non-messenger RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNAs), regulates the expression of complementary mRNAs without coding for proteins. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of systemically administered oral isotretinoin on gingival health in terms of microRNA (miRNA), a molecule of interest in periodontal research, before, during, and after treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Saliva, serum sampling

Saliva were collected to analyze the selected markers as unstimulated samples during the early hours of the day. The saliva was centrifuged and then transferred into Eppendorf tubes. Venous puncture was performed after saliva collection and 10 mL of blood samples were collected by qualified staff from each participant (Periopaper, Oraflow Inc., Plainview, NY, USA). Saliva, serum were then stored at -80 °C until analysis.
