Background: It is well established that there is higher susceptibility to gingival inflammation during pregnancy. Annexin-1 (ANXA1) is an anti-inflammatory protein which has been identified in gingival tissue exudates by discovery proteomics. This cross-sectional case-control study investigated the levels and association of ANXA1 and pro-inflammatory mediator interleukin (IL)-1 beta in the saliva of pregnant and non-pregnant women.
