Research into biomarkers of periodontitis is driven by mainly three targets: to identify 'at
risk'patients before periodontal tissue destruction occurs; to determine disease activity and …

Traditional clinical measurements such as probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing,
clinical attachment loss; plaque index and radiographs used for periodontal diagnosis are …

RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐β ligand) and OPG (osteoprotegerin) are
two proteins involved in bone remodelling. During the active phase of periodontal disease …

phenotype determine whether the periodontitis lesions will progress or stabilize …

Objective To investigate the explicitness and variability of the definition of periodontal health
in the current scientific literature. Material and methods The authors conducted a systematic …
