Table 2 Concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in gingival crevicular fluid around implants by the depth of pockets.
From: Vascular endothelial growth factor in gingival crevicular fluid around dental implants
Pocket depth | Number of samples | VEGF (pg/ml) ( ± SE) | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
≤ 2 mm | 20 | 25.21 ± 0.32 | NS |
≤ 3 mm | 23 | 80.42 ± 0.98 | P < 0.001 |
4-6 mm | 16 | 92.17 ± 0.19 | P < 0.01 |
