Abstract
AimTo analyse whether some selected inflammatory biomarkers collected from venous blood and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were associated with the outcome of non‐surgical periodontal therapy.Materials and MethodsTwo‐hundred and nine patients affected by periodontitis were enrolled in the study, who had undergone steps I and II therapy as well as a non‐surgical re‐instrumentation (NSRI) of periodontal pockets after 6 months. Serum (SE), plasma (PL) and GCF samples were quantitatively analysed for the following inflammatory biomarkers: active matrix metalloproteinase‐8 (aMMP‐8), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and surfactant protein D (SP‐D). Therapy outcomes were evaluated using a ‘treat‐to‐target’ endpoint (T2T) at the patient level, defined as ≤ 4 sites with pocket depth ≥ 5 mm.ResultsPatients presented with 23 ± 6 teeth (mean ± SD) at baseline. After steps I and II therapy, 41.6% of the patients reached T2T and after NSRI 47.4%. Univariate analysis identified a potential association between high levels of PL‐SP‐D and more favourable treatment outcomes. Multivariate binary logistic regression adjusted for sex, mean baseline probing depth, diabetes and current smoking status confirmed an independent relationship between baseline PL‐SP‐D and the T2T after steps I and II therapy (aOR 0.432, p = 0.011), implying that a higher level PL‐SP‐D at baseline is associated with a > 50% reduced risk of failing T2T. However, no such association was found for PL‐SP‐D and NSRI.ConclusionHigher baseline PL‐SP‐D levels might be associated with more favourable treatment outcomes after steps I and II therapy. This may be due to its role in the regulation of neutrophil function. However, further investigation is required to confirm this hypothesis. If proven, PL‐SP‐D could play a role as a biomarker for identifying individuals who respond differentially to primary therapy.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
