Aim The aim of this case‐control study was to evaluate the association between the TNFSF13B rs9514828 (−871 C > T) polymorphism and soluble BAFF (sBAFF) in apical periodontitis (AP) patients. Methodology Two hundred and sixty one healthy subjects (HS) and 158 patients with AP classified as: 46 ac...
