Abstract
Recent studies have identified inflammatory mediators as potential biomarkers for monitoring or diagnosing periodontitis. However, the brief half-life of these mediators, coupled with their variability among different individuals and across different stages of periodontal disease, may limit their reliability as biomarkers.In this study, we assessed the concentration profile of salivary biomarkers (IL-6, IL-8, and total protein) through repeated measurements within the same day and across different days in 79 patients exhibiting various states of periodontal health: intact periodontium, stable periodontitis, and active periodontitis. Additionally, we explored how daily variations, such as the interval between toothbrushing and eating, impact the levels of these salivary biomarkers and their diagnostic efficacy for periodontitis activity.Our results showed high salivary levels of IL-6 and total proteins in periodontitis patients (p < 0.001), with detection ability reflected by an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC) ranging between 0.709 and 0.852. Conversely, IL-8 levels were higher in patients with intact periodontium (p < 0.001), with an AUC-ROC for periodontitis detection between 0.671 and 0.815. Daily activities such as toothbrushing and eating influenced the levels of specific analytes, particularly total proteins (p < 0.001), but this did not affect their ability to detect periodontal disease activity. The highest measurement agreement, assessed by Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC), was found for IL-6, with no significant differences in agreement between same-day and different-day measurements.Our study demonstrated consistency in the repeated measurements of salivary analytes, both within the same day and across different days, except for salivary total protein levels. These analytes exhibited variability within a range that did not undermine their effectiveness as biomarkers for periodontal disease.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
