The role of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is well documented in pathogenesis of chronic The aim was to detect TNFR2 serum concentration and correlate it with periodontal destruction The study included 85 patients divided into three groups: T2D + CP (group T2D, n = 34); nondiabetics There was no difference in TNFR2 level among the groups (Kruskal–Wallis, p = 0.482). Significant Higher concentration of TNFR2 was associated with higher CAL, PESA, and PISA scores in T2D
