The Effects of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on Neutrophil Elastase and Elastase Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor Levels in GCF in Periodontitis Patients with or Without Acute Coronary Syndrome
Kayar, Nezahat Arzu; Ustun, Kemal; Gozlu, Muammer; Haliloglu, Seyfullah; Alptekin, Nilgun Ozlem (2021)Objective Periodontitis may contribute to vascular damage, resulting in the destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque leading to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this study, we explored the effect of non-surgical periodontal ... -
Efficacy of oil pulling therapy with coconut oil on four-day supragingival plaque growth: A randomized crossover clinical trial
Sezgin, Yasemin; Ozgul, Betul Memis; Alptekin, Nilgun Ozlem (2019)Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the plaque-inhibiting effects of oil pulling using 4- day plaque regrowth study model compared to 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) containing mouthrinse. Design: The ... -
