Serum immunoglobulins in periodontosis patients.
This study indicates that a significantly greater percentage of periodontosis patients had high serum IgM and IgA levels compared to the control subjects plus a trend in the same direction for IgG. Paradoxically, 41% of the periodontosis subjects had no elevation of IgG, IgA or IgM.
