Gingival crevicular fluid cGAS-STING pathway-related biomarkers are associated with periodontal disease severity and diagnostic performance.
OBJECTIVE To investigate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), 2'3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (2'3'-cGAMP), and interferon-β (IFN-β) across periodontal health, gingivitis, and periodontitis. DESIGN This study included 180 participants: 45 period...
