Neutrophil extracellular traps were found in tissue samples of periodontitis as extracellular components of chromatin, along with neutrophil enzymes, that were not present in healthy controls. The comparison of NETs expression in periodontitis and gingivitis showed higher expression in gingivitis, associating them to acute phases of the periodontal inflammatory process.
