Abstract

Background and Objectives: During recent years, more frequent attention has been paid to the incidence of odontogenic foci of infection and their influence on general disease. Some studies indicate that endodontically treated teeth with non-vital pulp, despite the absence of clinical symptoms and pathological changes on radiographs, may be a potential focus for odontogenic infection. At present, acute dental diseases have been shown to be risk factor for many systemic diseases. However future research is required to elucidate the link. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor in assessment of focal dentogenous diseases.
