Conclusion: Both Hyperglycemia and chronic periodontitis influence the expression of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in GCF and serum and this could contribute to a stronger inflammatory response, leading to periodontal disease progression. The expression of TLR-2 and TLR-4 is positively correlated with the severity of periodontal disease UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
