Our aim was to compare the expression of IL1β, IL-4, IL-8, INF-γ, elastase activity and the composition of the subgingival microbiota profile before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment in patients with untreated generalized chronic (GCP) and aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). Twenty patients with GCP and 14 with GAgP were evaluated. Clinical data, GCF and plaque were analyzed at baseline and 3 months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. IL-1β, IL-4, IL-8 and INFγ were analyzed in a luminex assay. Elastase activity was assessed by an enzymatic assay. Subgingival plaque samples were analyzed using checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. Three months after periodontal therapy significant improvement for all clinical parameters in both groups were found. We have found significant reductions in the elastase activity in shallow and deep sites from GAgP and in deep sites from GCP group. A significant increase in INF-γ in the shallow sites from GAgP group were also found. Microbiological data showed significant reductions in the levels of members of the red complex (P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola), and for the species E.nodatum and P.micra on GCP group. In the GAgP group, there were significant reductions in levels of P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Fusobacterium polymorphum ss periodonticum. When the clinical and immunological responses after therapy were compared between groups, only slight differences were found. No microbiological difference was found between groups after therapy. In conclusion, the findings support our hypothesis that the chronic and aggressive periodontitis respond equally well to non-surgical periodontal treatment.
