Association of leukocyte telomere length with periodontal attachment loss based on a cross-sectional study
This study provides evidence of a positive association between leukocyte telomere length and attachment loss in periodontal health. Our results suggested that LTL may serve as a potential biomarker for periodontal health, emphasizing the importance of considering telomere length in understanding and managing periodontal conditions.
