Human saliva is an easily accessible biological fluid and contains a variety of disease-
related biomarkers, which makes it a potential diagnostic medium. The clinical use of …

Periodontitis is a complex immune-inflammatory condition characterized by the disruption of
the periodontal ligament and subsequent formation of periodontal pockets, and by alveolar …

Background The gold standard in treatment of periodontitis is mechanical removing of dental
biofilm but using local delivery drugs as adjunctive to SRP is widely used to modulate …

Background: We aimed to investigate the accuracy of salivary matrix metalloproteinases
(MMP)-8 and-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in diagnosing …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic utility of an MMP‐8
biosensor assay in differentiating periodontal health from gingivitis and periodontitis and …

This cross-sectional study compares the effectiveness of an active MMP-8 (aMMP-8) point-of-
care (PoC)/chairside mouthrinse test to the conventional bleeding on probing (BOP)(cutoff …

(1) Background: Metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are
members of a family of proteases of major importance during orthodontic tooth movement …

Background: In periodontitis, genetics and smoking play important roles in host immune
system response. The aim of this study is to determine whether the genetic background of …

Evaluation of periodontal and peri‐implant tissue condition is mainly based on clinical
examination and imaging diagnostics. Some data imply that Metalloproteinase‐8 (MMP‐8) …

Background This cross‐sectional study aims to investigate if a point‐of‐care (PoC) test of
active matrix metalloproteinase‐8 (aMMP‐8) predicts levels of inflammation amplifier …
