Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a destructive chronic inflammatory disease causing irreversible loss of tooth-supporting tissues. Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) is an important inflammatory mediator that is overexpressed in periodontitis as well as other diseases. Periodontitis may contribute to an elevated plasma PTGS2 level.
