However, little is known regarding the postoperative expression of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)markers.Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the expression of GCF markers following treatment of periodontalintrabony defects with guided tissue regeneration or access surgery. The association of the markers’ expression with the clinicaloutcome was also assessed.Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, OpenGrey, LILACS and Cochrane Library upto December 2018 complemented by a manual search. Human, prospective clinical studies were identified. The changes frombaseline up to 30 days (early healing) and 3 months (late healing) were assessed.Results: A total of 164 publications were identified and reviewed for eligibility. Of these, 10 publications fulfilled the inclusioncriteria. The included studies evaluated 15 different GCF markers with a follow-up time between 21 and 360 days postoperatively.PDGF, VEGF and TIMP-1 changes were often investigated in the included studies; however, contrasting results werereported. Two studies agreed that both GTR and OFD lead to similar OPG level changes. TGF-β1 is increased early postoperatively,irrespective of the surgical technique employed.Conclusión: There is limited evidence available on the expression of GCF markers after surgical interventions of intrabonyperiodontal defects. However, OPG and TGF-β1 tend to increase early post-operatively, irrespective of the surgical techniqueemployed, irrespective of the surgical technique employed.Clinical relevance: More well-designed, powered studies with sampling periods reflecting the regenerative process are needed,and future research should focus on employing standardised protocols for collecting, storing and analysing GCF markers PB Springer SN 1432-6981 YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21252 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21252 LA eng NO Koidou, V.P., Chatzopoulos, G.S., Tomas, I. et al.
