Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the novel acute phase protein YKL-40 and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) in serum of patients withmolar-incisor pattern of periodontitis (Stage 3, Grade C).Material and Methods: Twenty seven patients with molar-incisor pattern of periodontitis and 27 periodontally healthy individualswere included into the study. Serum levels of YKL-40 and Hs-CRP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Serum YKL-40 levels were significantly increased in molar-incisor pattern of periodontitis patients compared to healthycontrols (P
