Background and Objective There is a substantial magnitude of data implicating the role of interleukin‐23 (IL‐23) in the initiation and progression of periodontal disease. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of IL‐23 in the gingival crevicular fluid of systemically healthy subjects...
