Objectives: To identify quantitative variations of serum and saliva IL-1b related to the intensity of periodontal damage in patients associating thyroid autoantibodies. Material and method: The study group included a number of 70 patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT), that had oral examination and are classified by the presence and severity of chronic periodontitis (CP) lesions - mild (n = 20; 20.5%),medium (n = 14; 20%), severe (n = 12; 17%) and the absence of periodontal lesions (n =24; 34.5%). Seru...

Backgroud: The autoimmune process presents lesional similarities between chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and chronic periodontitis. The development of non-specific autoimmunity in periodontal disease is correlated with microbial aggression in the periodontal plaque. The increased incidence of periodontal lesions found in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis suspects pathogenic intercorelation. Methods: The study included patients of both sexes with periodontal disease: group 1 - associating chronic autoimmu...
