Serum A.Actinomycetemcomitans Antibodies and Periodontitis

June 1, 2020 updated by: Gaetano Isola, DDS, PhD, University of Messina

Association Among Serum A.Actinomycetemcomitans Antibodies and Periodontitis

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between serum A.actinomycetemcomitans antibodies in patients with periodontitis. Furthermore, the objective was to determine if the periodontitis influenced serum IgG A.actinomycetemcomitans antibodies levels

Completed

Detailed Description

53 patients with periodontitis and 48 healthy subjects (HS) were enrolled in the present study. Enrolled patients were examined and characterized for clinical and blood samples analysis and A.actinomycetemcomitans antibodies were expressed and evaluated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) units (EU). The Spearman Correlation Test and Jonckheere-Terpstra Test were applied in order to assess the interdependence between serum IgG A.actinomycetemcomitans antibodies and clinical periodontal parameters.
