dc.description.abstractBackground: This study aimed to investigate endocan (ESM-1) levels in periodontitis patients before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment by analyzing the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Methods: This study included 26 periodontally healthy people as controls (Group 1) and 27 patients with Stage III-Grade B periodontitis (Group 2). Demographic and periodontal variables were assessed. GCF samples were collected from every subject both before and 6 weeks following non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test, biomarker levels were determined. Results: The periodontitis patients showed higher ESM-1 levels than the controls, although the difference was not significant (p > 0.005). The ESM-1 levels decreased significantly after treatment (p = 0.001). The VEGF-A levels did not differ significantly between the periodontitis patients and controls (p > 0.005) and decreased non-significantly following treatment (p > 0.005). The TNF-alpha levels were significantly higher in the periodontitis patients than the controls (p = 0.000) and decreased significantly after treatment (p = 0.000). A significant correlation was found between TNF-alpha and both probing depth (PD) and interproximal clinical attachment level (iCAL) in the control group (p < 0.05). In the periodontitis group, the VEGF levels were significantly correlated with the gingival index (GI) (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were identified between ESM-1 and VEGF-A and ESM-1 and TNF-alpha, as well as VEGF-A and TNF-alpha, in both the control group and following treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusions: ESM-1 and TNF-alpha levels decreased with non-surgical periodontal treatment in GCF. Within the limits of the study, the findings suggest that ESM-1 levels in periodontal tissues may be an indicator of periodontal disease.
