Expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 and toll-like receptor 4 in aggressive periodontitis and in chronic periodontitis

Background and Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the expression and the distribution of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in tissue samples from patients with periodontal disease (aggressive periodontitis and chronic periodontitis) and from healthy controls
