IL-17 and IL-11 GCF Levels in Aggressive and Chronic Periodontitis Patients: Relation to PCR Bacterial Detection

Table 4

Ratios of the IL-11 : IL-17 in GCF of CP, GAgP, and C subjects.

Cytokine ratio	GCP (𝑛=25)	GAgP (𝑛=25)	C (𝑛=15)	P value from Kruskall-Wallis test
IL-11 : IL-17^a	1.46 : 1*	1.09 : 1*	1.62 : 1	0.011
IL-11 : IL-17^b	1.01 : 1*	0.99 : 1*	1.30 : 1	0.016

GCP: generalized chronic periodontitis; GAgP: generalized aggressive periodontitis; C: control.
*Statistically significantly different from control group (𝑃<0.05).
^aRatio of the total amount of IL-11 to IL-17.
^bRatio of the concentration of IL-11 to IL-17.
