Association of Gingival Crevicular Fluid Leptin Levels With Stages of Periodontitis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the association between leptin levels in gingival crevicular fluid and the stages of periodontitis.
• Cross-sectional study design
• Sample analysis of gingival crevicular fluid
• Assessment of periodontal status and disease severity
• Leptin levels correlate with higher stages of periodontitis
• GCF leptin levels may aid in assessing periodontal disease severity
