ObjectivesThe mRNA expression profiles of IL-23/Th17 and the Treg-associated cytokine TGF- in peri-implantitis are currently under research. This study characterized the IL-17, IL-23, and TGF- gene expression levels in healthy and diseased peri-implant tissues and correlated these data with radiographic bone loss.Material and MethodsPeri-implant soft tissues from 40 subjects (20 healthy controls with mean age of 59.46.3, and 20 with peri-implantitis with mean age of 56.65.5) were enrolled in this study, and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to define the profile of IL-17, IL-23, and TGF- gene expression.ResultsHigher levels of TGF- mRNA were observed in biopsies taken from healthy controls, and the IL-23 mRNA levels were significantly increased in the peri-implantitis group (P0.05).ConclusionsData presented in this report demonstrated a predominant Th17 response in peri-implantitis subjects based on the higher levels of IL-23 and lower levels of TGF- detected.
