Its main biological function seems to be the limitation and termination of inflammatory responses and the regulation of differentiation and proliferation of several immune cells such as T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, antigen-presenting cells, mast cells, and granulocytes. The present study has correlated the salivary IL-10 levels with that of the circulatory levels in periodontal health and diseased patients and also brings an attestation for Saliva as point of care diagnosis.
