Asprosin, Adropin, Irisin Levels in Periodontitis

The periodontal assessment was performed by a single trained examiner (S.D.). A graded periodontal probe (Williams, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) was used to measure probing depth (PD) which was determined as the depth from the gingival margin to the bottom of the gingival sulcus/periodontal pocket, clinical attachment loss (CAL) which was calculated as the distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the bottom of the periodontal pocket and dual recording (+/-) of bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) in total except third molars G

GCF sampled from the buccal aspects of non-contiguous proximal regions in maxillary single-rooted teeth. In the periodontitis groups, fluid samples were taken from the two deepest pockets. In the gingivitis and periodontal healthy groups, fluid samples were obtained from areas with and without visible inflammation, respectively
