Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 are acute phase proteins associated with many systemic diseases and conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical parameters and salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels before and after non-surgical periodontal treatments in the patients with periodontal diseases. A total of 54 subjects were divided in to three groups; periodontally healthy (n: 18), gingivitis (n: 18), chronic periodontitis (n: 18). Clinical periodontal parameters, salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels and salivary flow rates were evaluated at baseline and a month after the treatments. Salivary Hs-CRP, Fetuin-A and S100A12 levels were assayed by ELISA.
