Gingival crevicular fluid biomarkers in type 1 diabetes mellitus: A case-control study.

T1D subjects, particularly the younger ones, exhibited more inflammation compared to the matched healthy controls. Results on the GCF expression of IL-8, MMP-8 and AGEs did not differ between the groups. The diabetic population of our cohort was for the most part fairly-controlled, with little if any complications and with presence of only mild type of periodontal disease, as 68% had gingivitis.
