Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment Combined With Anti-TNF-α in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodontitis

This procedure will be applied to all patients. All patients received nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Scaling root planing and subgingival debridement were performed.

Periodontal measurements will be performed on all patients (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment loss).

Serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples will be collected from patients for biochemical evaluations.

No medication will be administered to patients.
