Diagnostic Test: ELISA
Registration Number

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the levels of biomarkers associated with bone metabolism in patients with different periodontal conditions.

Detailed Description

Background: In this study, the levels of bone metabolism markers found in the saliva of individuals with different periodontal conditions were compared and the relationship of these markers with periodontal status was examined.

Method: A total of 60 individuals, 20 with periodontitis (P), 20 with gingivitis (G), and 20 with periodontal healthy (S), were included in the study. Periodontal clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level and probing pocket depth) and saliva samples were obtained from the individuals. Bone metabolism biomarker (necrotizing factor (TNF)-α, osteoprotegerin (OPG), nuclear factor kappa-β receptor activator ligand (RANKL) and sclerostin) levels in saliva samples were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of bone metabolism biomarkers in different periodontal conditionsbaseline

The levels of bone metabolism markers in the saliva of individuals with different periodontal status were compared and the relationship of these markers with periodontal status was examined.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Probing pocket depthbaseline

Probing pocket depth(PPD) was measured for determining the severity of the disease and clinical outcome. High probing depth shows more severe periodontal disease.

Plaque indexbaseline

The differences in plaque index scores between periodontally healthy and periodontitis. Plaque index (PI) was recorded for determining and classifying oral hygiene status. The plaque index (PI) scores each site on a with 0 being no plaque in gingival area and 3 abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface.

Gingival indexbaseline

The differences in gingival index scores between periodontally healthy and periodontitis.The gingival index was recorded for determining and classifying gingival status. The gingival index (Gİ) scores each site on a 0 being normal and 3 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling and spontaneous bleeding.
