Mechano-sensitive odontoblast cells, which sense mechanical loading and various stresses in the tooth structure, synthesize early signaling molecules such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) nitric oxide (NO) an adaptive response. It is thought that these synthesized can be used for diagnosis treatment of periodontal periapical diseases. The aim this study was to investigate relationship between severity apical periodontitis (AP) chronic (CP) serum (s) TNF-α, IL-10, PGE2 NO levels, well levels...
