Özet

Background: It has become increasingly clear in recent years that periodontal disease can cause a dramatic increase in the levels of markers of systemic inflammation, and that periodontal treatment can result in reduction in the levels of these markers. We have previously shown that the prevalence of moderate to severe periodontitis was significantly higher in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with amyloidosis than in patients with FMF without amyloidosis. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate if chronic periodontitis is associated with secondary amyloidosis in the Black Sea region of Turkey.
