STUDY DESIGN: The study group was composed of 20 patients previously diagnosed with RAS and randomly selected. As a control group 10 healthy patients were also randomly selected. In both groups a TNFα assessment was carried out in non stimulated saliva. All the patients in the study group presented active lesions at the moment of the salivary sample collection. Values oscillating between 0 and 8.1 pg/ml were considered as normal. RESULTS: Salivary TNFα levels are 2 to 5 times higher in RAS patients than those of healthy patients. CONCLUSIONS: TNFα has a possible implication in the RAS etiology and it may also have an important role in the search of new treatments for this disease. |
