Oral and Systemic aMMP-8 in Periodontal Disease

July 10, 2020 updated by: Zeynep Pinar KELES YUCEL, Aydin Adnan Menderes University

Local And Systemic Levels of aMMP-8 in Gingivitis and Stage 3 Periodontitis

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory process that can result in tooth loss and also is considered a modifying factor for systemic health. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is the major collagenase of periodontal tissue breakdown. The aim of the present study is to analyze active (aMMP-8) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and serum in the context of new criteria of gingivitis and stage 3 grade C periodontitis.

Probability Sample

Study Population

Healthy controls (n=23) includes volunteers with clinically healthy periodontium who had BOP < 10% and PD ≤ 3 mm, no sites with > 1 mm attachment loss, no radiographic sign of alveolar bone destruction and no history of periodontitis. Gingivitis patients (n=20) shows PD ≤ 3 mm with BOP > 50% in the entire mouth as well as no clinical attachment loss or alveolar bone loss. Periodontitis patients (Generalized Stage 3) have interdental CAL ≥ 5 mm at least 2 non-adjacent teeth, PD ≥ 6 mm and radiographic bone loss affecting 30% of the teeth or more.They show also no more than 4 teeth loss due to periodontitis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • systemically healthy and non-smoker individuals aged 25 to 50 years
  • having ≥20 teeth present (except third molars)
  • individuals with periodontally healthy, gingivitis and stage 3 periodontitis diagnoses

Exclusion Criteria:

  • having any systemic disease
  • smoking
  • pregnancy or lactation
  • using antibiotic or any anti-inflammatory drug or any periodontal treatment within the past 6 months.
