N2  - Background: The purpose of present study was to evaluate IL-21 levels in the gingival crevicular fluid of patients with chronic periodontitis before and after non- surgical periodontal therapy in an attempt to assess its role as a diagnostic and  prognostic biomarker of periodontal destruction.  Subjects and methods: The present study was conducted on 25 individuals Ten of the  individuals were healthy and representing the control group, group (A) and 15 were  suffering from chronic periodontitis representing group (B). Gingival crevicular fluid  samples were collected from both study groups to detect IL-21 levels. Regarding the  assessment of IL-21, ELISA technique was used. Group (B) was subjected to scaling  and root planing and then were recalled after 4 months from treatment to resample the  gingival crevicular fluid and evaluate the changes in clinical parameters after the  nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Then all the detected data was subjected to  statistical analysis
