Analysis of the association of TNF- α, IL-1A, and IL-1B polymorphisms with peri-implantitis in a Chinese non-smoking population

ConclusionsOur results suggest that the IL-1A − 889C/T or IL-1B + 3954C/T genetic polymorphisms were associated with the risk of peri-implantitis and periodontal status.Clinical relevanceGenetic polymorphisms are constant and can be measured before disease onset, thus it could be of great benefit for treatment planning and prognosis in an early stage.
