VALDERRAMA, G. et al. The association between the IL-1 polymorphism and chronic periodontal disease: A literature review (II). Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2005, vol.17, n.3, pp.157-163. ISSN 2340-3209.

The aim of this bibliographic review is describing the role of the polymorphism in IL-1 genes in the appearance and evolution of the periodontal disease. Through the review, it's observed a lack of homogeneity in the results obtained by different authors. Despite of this, more recent articles tend to have a low opinion of the relationship that could exist between the presence of polymorphism in IL-1 genes and periodontal disease. In the same way, the presence of theses polymorphisms seems not to influence in the implant failure nor in the guided tissue regeneration techniques.

Palavras-chave : Interleukin; IL-1; chronic periodontal disease; polymorphism.
