The Effect of Periodontal Treatment on Psoriasis

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical study was to determine the effect of non‐surgical mechanical periodontal treatment on psoriasis. The study population consisted of 92 periodontitis patients with psoriasis who had untreated periodontal disease. Two randomized groups were formed from these patients. Immediate periodontal treatment (test group, n = 46) and delayed periodontal treatment (control group, n = 46). Clinical periodontal measures, saliva interleukin 2, interleukin 6 and secretory immunoglobulin A levels and PASI scores were performed at baseline and 8th week in control and test group.
