RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of periodontal treatment on markers of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and circulating levels of periostin. BACKGROUND: Periostin is necessary for periodontal stability, but it is highly present in atherosclerotic plaques. Treatment of periodontal disease, with low levels of local periostin, is thought to reduce systemic levels of periostin. Thus, this may contribute to cardiovascular health. METHODS: A pilot randomized controlled clinical trial was designed to include patients with severe periodontal disease and history of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Samples of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum were collected before and after periodontal treatment by periodontal surgery or non-surgical therapy. The levels of several markers of inflammation and cardiovascular damage were evaluated including CRP, IFN-γ, IL-1ß, IL-10, MIP-1α, periostin, and TNF-α in GCF and CRP, Fibrinogen, IFN-γ, IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-10, L-Selectin, MIP-1α, Periostin, TNF-α, and vWF in serum. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients with an average of 56 years old were recruited for participating in this study. Twenty of them were male. Most of them (82%) had suffered an acute myocardial event and underwent surgery for placing 1, 2, or 3 stents in the coronary arteries more than 6 months ago but less than 1 year. The treatment of periodontal disease resulted in an overall improvement of all periodontal parameters. Regarding the evaluation of GCF and serum, a significant increase of periostin in the GCF was observed after periodontal surgery. In contrast, although other markers in GCF and serum improved, no significant correlations were found. CONCLUSION: Treatment of periodontal disease through periodontal surgery induces a local and transient increase in the levels of periostin in the gingival crevicular fluid. The effects on systemic markers of inflammation and cardiovascular function have not been confirmed.

OBJECTS: This study aims to explore the etiology of peri-implantitis by comparing the metabolic profiles in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) from patients with healthy implants (PH) and those with peri-implantitis (PI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. PICF samples were collected and analyzed using both non-targeted and targeted metabolomics approaches. The relationship between metabolites and clinical indices including probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and marginal bone loss (MBL) was examined. Additionally, submucosal microbiota was collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to elucidate the association between the metabolites and microbial communities. RESULTS: Significant differences in metabolic profiles were observed between the PH and PI groups, with 179 distinct metabolites identified. In the PI group, specific amino acids and fatty acids were significantly elevated compared to the PH group. Organic acids including succinic acid, fructose-6-phosphate, and glucose-6-phosphate were markedly higher in the PI group, showing positive correlations with mean PD, BOP, and MBL. Metabolites that increased in the PI group positively correlated with the presence of Porphyromonas and Treponema and negatively with Streptococcus and Haemophilus. CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes a clear association between metabolic compositions and peri-implant condition, highlighting enhanced metabolite activity in peri-implantitis. These findings open avenues for further research into metabolic mechanisms of peri-implantitis and their potential therapeutic implications.

PURPOSE: To explore the function of miR-221-3p in the development and course of chronic periodontitis (CP) and offer a fresh avenue for CP diagnosis and management. METHODS: miR-221-3p expression was detected by RT-qPCR. The clinical diagnostic value of miR-221-3p in CP patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC). ELISA was used to determine the IL-1ß and IL-6 in CP subjects and healthy controls. Pearson correlation analysis was performed with miR-221-3p. PDLCs were induced by LPS, transfected with miR-221-3p mimics, and their expression was analyzed for the effects of IL-1ß, and IL-6. RESULTS: The miR-221-3p expression was lower in the gingival sulcus fluid GCF of CP subjects compared to healthy controls. miR-221-3p showed high potential for clinical diagnosis in CP patients by ROC analysis, with high specificity and sensitivity. miR-221-3p was negatively correlated with Probing pocket depth (PD), Attachment loss (AL), Plaque index (PI), and Bleeding index (BI), and negatively correlated with inflammatory factors IL-1ß and IL-6. In LPS-induced PDLCs, IL-1ß and IL-6 were significantly increased, whereas miR-221-3p was significantly downregulated. Overexpression of miR-221-3p inhibited the production of inflammatory factors IL-1ß and IL-6 in LPS-induced PDLCs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: miR-221-3p expression may be a potential biological marker for the diagnosis of chronic periodontitis and provide a new direction for its treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Periodontitis, a prevalent inflammatory condition, affects the supporting structures of teeth, leading to significant oral health challenges. Traditional treatments have primarily focused on mechanical debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and surgery, which often fail to restore lost periodontal structures. Emerging as a novel approach in regenerative medicine, extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy, including exosomes, leverages nano-sized vesicles known for facilitating intercellular communication and modulating physiological and pathological processes. This study is a proof-of-concept type that evaluates the clinical efficacy of EV therapy as a non-surgical treatment for stage I-III periodontitis, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential. The research involved seven patients undergoing the therapy, and seven healthy individuals. Clinical parameters, including the plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and attachment level, were assessed alongside cytokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid. The study found significant improvements in clinical parameters, and a marked reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines post-treatment, matching the levels of healthy subjects, underscoring the therapy's ability to not only attenuate inflammation and enhance tissue regeneration, but also highlighting its potential in restoring periodontal health. This investigation illuminates the promising role of EV therapy in periodontal treatment, advocating for a shift towards therapies that halt disease progression and promote structural and functional restoration of periodontal tissues.

In this exploratory study, we searched for associations between the two most common diseases of the oral cavity-dental caries and periodontal diseases-taking into account additional factors, such as personalized clinical pictures (the individual risk factors of the patient), based on the method of a multivariate data analysis of the molecular changes in the composition of human gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). For this purpose, a set of synchrotron Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of gingival crevicular fluid samples from patients with different demographics, levels of dental caries development and periodontal diseases, and the presence/absence of concomitant chronic diseases were obtained and analyzed. Using a set of techniques (v-, F-, Chi-square tests; a principal component analysis (PCA); and the hierarchical clustering of principal components (HCPCs)) implemented in the R package FactoMineR allowed us to assess the relationship between the principal components (PCs) and characteristics of the respondents. By identifying the features (vibrational modes in the FTIR spectra) that contribute most to the differentiation of the spectral dataset, and by taking into account the interrelationships between the patients' characteristics, we were able to match specific biological markers (specific molecular groups) to the two factors of interest-two types of oral pathologies. The results obtained show that the observed changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the modes in the infrared (IR) spectra of the GCF samples from patients with different dental caries developments and periodontal diseases present confirm the difficulty of identifying patient-specific spectral information. At the same time, different periodontal pathologies are more closely associated with other characteristics of the patients than the level of their caries development. The multivariate analysis performed on the spectral dataset indicates the need to take into account not only the co-occurrence of oral diseases, but also some other factors. The lack of this consideration (typical in lots of studies in this area) may lead to misinterpretations and consequently to a loss of data when searching for biological markers of certain oral diseases.

AIM: The aim of this review was to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) present in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of periodontal diseases, and to determine which of them has a higher diagnostic yield for periodontitis. METHODS: The review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines (reference number CRD42024544648). The Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched for clinical studies conducted in humans investigating periodontal diseases and miRNAs in GCF. The methodological quality of the articles was measured with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: A total of 3222 references were identified in the initial literature search, and 16 articles were finally included in the review. The design of the studies was heterogeneous, which prevented a meta-analysis of the data. Most of the studies compared miRNA expression levels between patients with periodontitis and healthy controls. The most widely researched miRNA in periodontal diseases was miR-200b-3p and miR-146a. CONCLUSIONS: the miRNAs most studied are miR-146a, miR-200b, miR-223, miR-23a, and miR-203, and all of them except miR-203 have an acceptable diagnostic plausibility for periodontitis.

The aim of this study was to test the molecular expression profile (senescence-associated secretory phenotype; SASP) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) prior to surgery in relation to the distribution of clinical success of periodontal regeneration. Forty consecutive patients presenting sites with residual probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 6 mm and intrabony defects ≥ 3 mm were treated through a minimally invasive surgical technique. Pre-operatively, GCF was sampled for inflammatory biomarker analysis related to SASP [interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, and IL-12; matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP)-8 and -9]. Better or worse responders were classified depending on the achievement of a composite outcome measure at 1-year [COM; PPD ≤ 4 mm and clinical attachment gain (CAL) gain ≥ 3 mm]. Correlation analyses and logistic regression models were performed. Periodontal regeneration led to significant improvements in mean clinical and radiographic parameters. Teeth achieving COM presented significantly lower amounts of SASP factors compared with non-successful teeth. Higher CAL gain, PPD reduction, and radiographic bone fill were negatively correlated with IL-1ß and MMP-8 and -9 (p < 0.001), while IL-12 showed a direct relationship with CAL gain (p = 0.005) and PPD reduction (p = 0.038). Sites expressing higher SASP expression in the GCF before periodontal regeneration achieved worse clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Background and Objectives: Evaluation of the levels of cytokine and bone metabolic biomarkers (BMBs) in patients receiving fixed orthodontic therapy (FOT) and Invisalign. Materials and Methods: Sixty participants were enrolled after meeting the predefined inclusion criteria. Patients then underwent either FOT or Invisalign by allocating them randomly to each group (n = 30). The basic periodontal assessment was performed, including the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing (BoP), at baseline and again after 4 weeks. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were taken from each individual at baseline and after 4 weeks. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was used to determine the cytokine and BMB levels. An unpaired t-test compared the FOT and Invisalign group's means and SDs. Paired t-tests examined the difference between T0 baseline and T1. Results: Patients treated with either FOT or Invisalign presented no statistically significant difference in terms of periodontal parameters such as PI, GI, and BoP (p > 0.05). The levels of IL-6 were significantly higher in patients treated with FOT as compared to Invisalign at T1 (p < 0.05) The other tested cytokines, IL-10, 13, 17, and GM-CSF, were not significantly different in either the FOT or Invisalign group at baseline and 4 weeks follow-up (p > 0.05). Regarding BMBs, it was detected that NTx and OC levels in both of the investigated groups were not significantly different at baseline and after 4 weeks (p > 0.05). However, NTx levels rose significantly (p < 0.05) and OC levels fell from T0 to T1. Conclusions: FOT and Invisalign displayed comparable outcomes in terms of cytokine and BMB levels. However, only IL-6 and NTx were significantly different at week 4 from baseline.

Background and Objectives: An obesity-related elevated body mass index (BMI) across life is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in blood. CRP is a marker and promoter of inflammation. The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of obesity on the relationship between peripheral and gingival CRP levels and to examine the effects of gingival CRP levels on gingival fluid inflammatory cytokines in periodontitis-resistant obese individuals. Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine participants in good periodontal health were recruited. Twenty patients were classified as lean and nineteen as obese based on their BMI levels. A thorough periodontal assessment was carried out. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and blood samples were collected. Both GCF and blood samples were analyzed for interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), and CRP. Results: GCF CRP levels were significantly higher in the obese than in the lean individuals. No statistically significant differences were noted between the two groups in either GCF or blood in terms of any of the inflammatory cytokine levels. IL-17A was not detected in the GCF of most subjects in both groups. GCF CRP levels were positively associated with blood CRP levels, and the association tended to be stronger in the obese individuals. GCF CRP showed no associations with GCF IL-10 in both groups. Although GCF CRP levels were positively associated with multiple GCF inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α) in all subjects, the associations tended to be weaker in the obese individuals (e.g., IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α). Furthermore, the levels of the GCF inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased in the obese individuals. Conclusions: Obesity unfavorably influences the relationship between blood and GCF CRP levels and promotes increased CRP levels in GCF. Collectively, the findings suggest a weakened inflammatory cytokine response in the gingival tissues of obese individuals.

This study aimed to determine the contribution of titanium prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) with open flap debridement (OFD) on clinical, biochemical and radiographic measurements of periodontal regeneration. Twenty periodontitis patients with bilateral intrabony defects and stage III grade A periodontitis were included in the study. A total of 40 defects were randomly selected for OFD alone (control group, n = 20) or combined OFD+ T-PRF (test group, n = 20). Clinical and radiographic parameters (at baseline and nine months after surgery), and growth factor levels in gingival crevicular fluid (at baseline and at two, four, six, and twelve weeks after surgical treatment) were also evaluated. Considering the clinical parameters, alterations in probing pocket depth, gingival marginal level and clinical endpoint in the test regions treated with T-PRF significantly improved (P<0.05). Fibroblast growth factor-2 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB levels between the two groups in the second and fourth weeks were also significantly different (P<0.05). Furthermore, the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/osteoprotegerin ratio between the groups was significantly different in the second, fourth, sixth, and twelfth weeks (P<0.05). The bone-filling rate was also significantly greater in the test group than in the control group (P <0.001). Compared with OFD alone, combining T-PRF with the procedure was more successful with regards to clinical, radiographic, and biochemical measurements of periodontal regeneration.

Assessment of craniofacial skeletal maturity is of great importance in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditional radiographic methods suffer from clinician subjectivity and low reproducibility. Recent biochemical methods, such as the use of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) protein biomarkers involved in bone metabolism, have provided new opportunities to assess skeletal maturity. However, mass spectrometry (MS)-based GCF proteomic analysis still faces significant challenges, including the interference of high abundance proteins, laborious sample prefractionation and relatively limited coverage of GCF proteome. To improve GCF sample processing and further discover novel biomarkers, we herein developed a single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample-preparation (SP3)-based high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS)-MS protocol for deep quantitative analysis of the GCF proteome for skeletal maturity indicators. SP3 combined with FAIMS could minimize sample loss and eliminate tedious and time-consuming offline fractionation, thereby simplifying GCF sample preparation and improving analytical coverage and reproducibility of the GCF proteome. A total of 5407 proteins were identified in GCF samples from prepubertal and circumpubertal groups, representing the largest dataset of human GCF proteome to date. Compared to the prepubertal group, 61 proteins were differentially expressed (31 up-regulated, 30 down-regulated) in the circumpubertal group. The six-protein marker panel, including ATP5D, CLTA, CLTB, DNM2, HSPA8 and NCK1, showed great potential to predict the circumpubertal stage (ROC-AUC 0.937), which provided new insights into skeletal maturity assessment.

The study aimed to determine the osteointegration markers after dental implantation and evaluate their predictive value. The study was performed on 60 practically healthy persons who needed teeth rehabilitation using dental implants. The conical-shaped implants (CI) and hexagonal implants (HI) were used. The content of Osteopontin (OPN), Osteocalcin (OC), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Osteoprotegerin (OPG), and nitric oxide (NO) was determined in patients' gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF), collected 1, 3, and 6 months after implantation. During the 3-6 months of observation level of OPN increased in patients with CIs (<50 years > 50 years) and HIs (<50 years) (CI: <50 years F = 36.457, p < 0.001; >50 years F = 30.104, p < 0.001; HI < 50 years F = 2.246, p < 0.001), ALP increased in patients with CIs (<50 years: F = 19.58, p < 0.001; >50 years: F = 12.01; p = 0.001) and HIs (<50 years) (F = 18.51, p < 0.001), OC increased in patients <50 years (CI: F = 33.72, p < 0.001; HI: F = 55.57, p < 0.001), but in patients >50 years - on the 3 days month (CI: F = 18.82, p < 0.001; HI: F = 26.26, p < 0.001), but sharply decreased at the end of sixth month. OPG increased during 1-3 months of the observation in patients <50 years (CI: F = 4.63, p = 0.037; HI: F = 2.8927, p = 0.046), but at the end of the sixth month returned to the initial level; NO content in PISF increased in patients with CI (>50 years) during 1-6 months of the observation (F = 27.657, p < 0.001). During the post-implantation period, age-related differences in osteointegration were observed. Patients <50 years old had relatively high levels of OPN, ALP, OC, and OPG in PISF, resulting in less alveolar bone destruction around dental implants and more intensive osteointegration. These indicators may be used as biological markers for monitoring implant healing. The process of osseointegration was more intense in CIs due to their comparatively high mechanical loading.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a peptide derived from vascular endothelial cells, as a biomarker for diagnosing peri-implant diseases. METHODS: A cohort of 29 patients with a total of 76 implants was included in this study and subsequently divided into three groups based on peri-implant clinical parameters and radiographic examination: healthy (peri-implant health) (n = 29), mucositis (n = 22), and peri-implantitis (n = 25) groups. The levels of ET-1 (ρg/site) and interleukin (IL)-1ß (ρg/site) in peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) samples were determined using enzyme immunoassay. Statistical analyses were conducted using Kruskal-Wallis and Steel-Dwass tests. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the biomarkers. RESULTS: ET-1 levels were significantly elevated in the peri-implantitis group compared to those in the healthy group, and were highest in the peri-implant mucositis group. Additionally, IL-1ß levels were significantly higher in the peri-implantitis group than those in the healthy group. ROC curve analysis indicated that ET-1 exhibited superior area under the curve values, sensitivity, and specificity compared to those of IL-1ß. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the presence of ET-1 in PISF plays a role in peri-implant diseases. Its significantly increased expression in peri-implant mucositis indicates its potential for enabling earlier and more accurate assessments of peri-implant inflammation when combined with conventional examination methods.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of testing for active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) by a quantitative point-of-care (PoC), chairside lateral flow immunotest and azurocidin, in the peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF), as biomarkers for the presence or absence of peri-implant diseases. BACKGROUND: Current research indicates that proinflammatory cytokines and extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes may be of value to diagnose and predict peri-implant disease initiation and progression, but more data are needed. METHODS: Eighty patients with implants were recruited. PISF samples were collected and quantitatively analyzed for aMMP-8 (chairside) and azurocidin with ELISA. Radiographic assessments and clinical indices (probing depth, probing attachment level, bleeding on probing, and plaque) were recorded after sampling. Kruskal-Wallis test and pairwise post hoc Dunn-Bonferroni test were used to relate aMMP-8 levels and azurocidin levels to clinical parameters. The diagnostic ability of aMMP-8 (ng/mL) and azurocidin was analyzed by receiver operator curve analysis. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated and the Spearman's rho, and the coefficient of determination (R2) were used to calculate the correlations between aMMP-8, azurocidin, and periodontal parameters. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were observed for aMMP-8 levels but not for azurocidin between healthy implants, implants with mucositis, and those with peri-implantitis (13.65 ± 7.18, 32.33 ± 21.20, and 73.07 ± 43.93 ng/mL, respectively), (Kruskall-Wallis test p < .05). The aMMP-8 test with a threshold of 20 ng/mL has a sensitivity of 71.7% and a specificity of 77.8% to identify peri-implantitis and healthy implants, respectively. AUC was found to be 0.814, and the accuracy of the method reaches 73.8%. Above a cutoff value of 33.7 ng/mL of aMMP-8, the accuracy of the test to detect peri-implantitis reaches 77.5% in relation to 62.5% of BoP from the same site. CONCLUSION: Taken collectively, present data indicate that the aMMP-8 PoC lateral flow immunotest can be a beneficial, adjunctive diagnostic quantitative tool for real-time screening for peri-implant diseases.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of laser combined with periodontal basic treatment on periodontal indices, subgingival flora, adiponectin, matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) in patients with periodontitis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 patients with periodontitis diagnosed and treated in Hengshui People's Hospital from December 2022 to July 2023. According to treatment methods, the patients were divided into control group (n=51) and experimental group (n=49). The control group received periodontal basic treatment, and the experimental group received laser treatment on the basis of the control group. The periodontal indexes, subgingival microflora, adiponectin, MMP-13, IL-1ß and bone metabolic factors of gingival crevicular fluid before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, as well as the clinical therapeutic effect. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 software package.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ultrasonic curettage combined with sodium hyaluronate gel in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP) and the effect on inflammatory factor hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) in gingival crevicular fluid. METHODS: A total of 102 patients with CP from October 2021 to October 2022 were selected, divided into experimental group (n=51) and control group (n=51) by random number table method. The control group received ultrasonic subgingival curetage, and the experimental group received sodium hyaluronate gel adjuvant therapy on the basis of the control group. The periodontal rehabilitation indexes, clinical efficacy and the changes of gingival crevicular fluid hs-CRP, MCP-1 and MMP-13 were compared between the two groups. The periodontal pathogens, bone metabolism indexes and the occurrence of adverse events during treatment were compared between the two groups. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software package. RESULTS: After treatment, the sulcus bleeding index (SBI), gingival index (GI), plaque index (PLI), periodontal pocket depth (PD) and attachment level (AL) of the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment (Pï¼0.05), and even significantly lower(Pï¼0.05) in the experimental group. Total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(Pï¼0.05). hs-CRP, MCP-1 and MMP-13 in both groups after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment(Pï¼0.05), and hs-CRP, MCP-1 and MMP-13 in the experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group(Pï¼0.05). The detection rates of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Forsetanella and Treponema dentalis were significantly lower in both groups after treatment than before treatment (Pï¼0.05), and the detection rates of the above indexes in the experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group(Pï¼0.05). After treatment, the C-terminal peptide(CTX) of type â collagen was significantly lower than that before treatment, and bone gla protein(BGP) was significantly higher than that before treatment(Pï¼0.05). The CTX and BGP of the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the control group and significantly higher than that of the control group(Pï¼0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of total adverse reactions between the two groups(Pï¼0.05). CONCLUSIONSï¼Ultrasonic curettage combined with sodium hyaluronate gel in the treatment of CP can promote periodontal tissue rehabilitation, enhance short-term efficacy, inhibit synthesis of inflammatory factors in gingival crevicular fluid, kill periodontal pathogens, regulate bone metabolism, and is safe and reliable.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of nonsurgical periodontal therapy considering the salivary stress-related hormone and cytokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) on pregnant and nonpregnant women. Material and Methods Thirty non-pregnant (control group) and 30 pregnant women (test group) that met the study inclusion criteria were chosen. Only participants with gingivitis were included. Clinical data and samples of GCF and saliva were collected at baseline and after periodontal therapy. The levels of interleukin-1 beta (Κ-1β) and IL-10, and concentration of salivary chromogranin A (CgA) hormone were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The repeated measures analysis of variance was used for intragroup and intergroup analyses. Results A major decrease in the gingival inflammation was observed in both groups after periodontal therapy (p<0.05). Periodontal treatment decreased the level of IL-1β in GCF (p<0.05) in control group, but no statistical difference was determined for GCF IL-1β in the test group. However, after periodontal therapy, the CgA hormone concentration was reduced in both groups (p<0.05). However, there was no difference in salivary CgA concentration, GCF IL-10 levels, and perceived stress scale (PSS)-10 between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, periodontal therapy significantly improved the periodontal status and stress level. In addition, the severity of the gingival inflammation during pregnancy was related to stress. However, further studies will be needed to substantiate these early findings.

Abstract There are few studies on the clinical and immunological periodontal status of intensive care unit (ICU) in-patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the periodontal condition among ICU in-patients through clinical and immunological periodontal parameters. From the sample of 373 hospitalized ICU patients, 182 were submitted' to a thorough clinical periodontal and immunological evaluation. Data on bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were collected and gingival sulcular fluid samples were quantified through ELISA on IL-1, IL-6, and MMP-2 for immunological evaluation. Data was statistically analyzed by Chi-square, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney tests, and Sperman's correlation and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A high dental plaque index and a high prevalence of periodontitis (48.3%), mostly in moderate and localized chronic form, were observed. Individuals with periodontitis presented higher levels of IL-1 and MMP-2, while individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and individuals with two or more systemic diseases (MSD) presented higher levels of IL-1; diabetes mellitus (DM) and MSD individuals presented higher levels of IL-6. A positive association was found between the severity of periodontitis and CVD (OR 2.2; CI = 1.11-4.42). This study reported a 48.3% of the prevalence of periodontitis in ICU patients and a positive association between the severity of periodontitis and CVD. Additionally, higher levels of IL-1 and MMP-2 were found in individuals with periodontitis, higher levels of IL-6 were found in individuals with DM, and higher levels of IL-1 were found in individuals with CVD.
Resumo Existem poucos estudos sobre o estado clínico periodontal e imunológico de pacientes em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a condição periodontal entre os pacientes internados na UTI através de parâmetros clínicos periodontais e imunológicos. De uma amostra inicial de 373 pacientes internados em UTI, 183 foram submetidos a exame periodontal completo e análise imunológica. Os dados sobre o sangramento na sondagem (BOP), profundidade de sondagem (PD) e nível clínico de inserção (CAL) foram coletados e as amostras de fluido sulcular gengival foram quantificadas para avaliação imunológica através de ELISA para IL-1, IL-6 e MMP-2. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelos testes de Qui-quadrado, exato de Fischer, Mann-Whitney, correlação de Sperman e análise de regressão logística multivariada. Foi observado um alto índice de placa dental e uma alta prevalência de periodontite (48,3%), principalmente na forma crônica moderada e localizada. Os indivíduos com periodontite apresentaram níveis mais altos de IL-1 e MMP-2, enquanto indivíduos com doença cardiovascular (CVD) e com mais de duas doenças sistêmicas (MSD) apresentaram níveis mais altos de IL-1 e os com diabetes mellitus (DM) e MSD apresentaram níveis mais elevados de IL-6. Foi encontrada associação positiva entre a gravidade da periodontite e CVD (OR 2.2; IC = 1,11-4,42). Este estudo reportou uma prevalência de periodontite em 48.3% dos pacientes em UTI e uma associação positiva entre ocorrência de periodontite e CVD. Além disso, níveis mais elevados de IL-1 e MMP-2 foram encontrados em indivíduos com periodontite, de IL-6 em indivíduos com DM e de IL-1 em indivíduos com CVD.

Lipoxins play an important role in periodontal resolution, hence, investigation of genetic polymorphism of lipoxin gene may provide important information on the role of lipoxins in periodontal disease pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate a polymorphism of C-to-T substitution at position c.-292 in ALOX15 (reticulocyte-type 15 lipoxygenase 1) gene in patients with chronic periodontitis and to associate the polymorphism with gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) lipoxin A4 (LXA4) levels. Forty-five chronic periodontitis and 45 periodontally healthy patients were included in this case-control study. Plaque index, calculus index, sulcus bleeding index, full mouth probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were recorded. GCF and blood samples were collected. GCF was analyzed for LXA4 levels by enzyme linked immunosorbant assay. Genotyping of ALOX15 polymorphism was studied using PCR. Mean LXA4 was lower in periodontitis group compared to the periodontally healthy group. There was a negative correlation between CAL and LXA4. The CC genotype was higher in the study group than in the control group. In the study group, mean CAL was significantly lower among individuals with the CT genotype. Mean LXA4 was significantly lower in CC genotype (45.0±7.11 ng/mL) compared to CT genotype (50.81±5.81 ng/mL) among the patients with periodontitis. The results suggest that LXA4 and c.-292T allele are associated with periodontal health. Polymorphisms in the ALOX15 gene may influence periodontal disease pathogenesis. Hence, investigation of such polymorphisms could benefit the evaluation of lipoxins role in periodontal disease.
Resumo Lipoxinas desempenham um papel importante na recuperação periodonta, portanto, a investigação do polimorfismo genético do gene da lipoxina pode fornecer informações importantes sobre o papel das lipoxinas na patogênese da doença periodontal. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar um polimorfismo de substituição C-to-T na posição c-292 no gene ALOX15 (reticulócito-tipo 15 lipoxigenase 1) em pacientes com periodontite crônica e associar o polimorfismo com a lipoxina A4 (LXA4) do fluido gengival crevicular (FGC). Quarenta e cinco pacientes com periodontite crônica e 45 pacientes periodonalmente saudáveis foram incluídos neste estudo caso-controle. Índice de placa, índice de cálculo, índice de sangramento do sulco, profundidade de sondagem (PS) da boca toda e perda de inserção clínica (PIC) foram registrados. Amostras do FGC e de sangue foram coletadas. O FGC foi analisado quanto aos níveis de LXA4 por ensaio imunoadsorvente ligado à enzima (ELISA). A genotipagem do polimorfismo ALOX15 foi estudada por PCR. A média de LXA4 foi menor no grupo de periodontite em comparação com o grupo periodontalmente saudável. Houve uma correlação negativa entre PIC e LXA4. O genótipo CC foi maior no grupo de estudo do que no grupo controle. No grupo de estudo, a média de PIC foi significativamente menor entre os indivíduos com o genótipo CT. A média de LXA4 foi significativamente menor no genótipo CC (45,0 ± 7,11 ng / mL) em comparação com o genótipo CT (50,81 ± 5,81 ng / mL) entre os pacientes com periodontite. Os resultados sugerem que o alelo LXA4 e o alelo c-292T estão associados à saúde periodontal. Polimorfismos no gene ALOX15 podem influenciar a patogênese da doença periodontal. Assim, a investigação de tais polimorfismos pode beneficiar a avaliação do papel das lipoxinas na doença periodontal.

Abstract Cell-derived microparticles (MPs) have been described as vital contributors to the inflammatory process. However, its role in the periodontal disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to detect the presence neutrophil (CD66b+) and platelet (CD41b+) derived microparticles in gingival crevicular fluid from individuals having periodontitis aggravated by type 2 diabetes. Twelve patients (56.2 ±7.2 yrs) with severe form of chronic periodontitis aggravated by type 2 diabetes were included. Clinical and metabolic data were gathered. Gingival crevicular fluid was collected using filter strips from deep and shallow sites. MPs were detected by flow cytometry according to their size (< 1 µm) and the expression of surface markers (CD66b for neutrophil-derived MPs and CD41b for platelet-derived MPs). All samples were positive for the antibodies. Median levels of CD66b+ MPs and CD41b+ MPs were, respectively, 3,677.0 (2,553.2 - 9,059.8) MP/µL and 520.7 (432.9 - 766.1) MP/µL in deep sites. In shallow sites, the corresponding values were 2,644.9 (1,451.5 - 3,858.9) MP/µL and 371.2 (287.2 - 692.7) MP/µL. There was no significant difference between deep and shallow sites (p>0.05). In conclusion, this study reported the presence of neutrophil and platelet derived microparticles in gingival crevicular fluid from individuals having severe periodontitis and type 2 diabetes.
Resumo As micropartículas derivadas de células (MPs) têm sido descritas como contribuintes vitais para o processo inflamatório. No entanto, seu papel na patogênese da doença periodontal permanece obscuro. Por isso, nosso objetivo foi detectar a presença de micropartículas derivadas de neutrófilos (CD66b +) e plaquetas (CD41b +) no fluido gengival de indivíduos com periodontite e diabetes tipo 2. Doze pacientes (56,2 ± 7,2 anos) com periodontite crônica severa e diabetes tipo 2 foram incluídos no estudo. Foram coletados dados clínicos e metabólicos. O fluido gengival foi coletado usando tiras de filtro de papel em sítios rasos e profundos. As MPs foram detectadas por citometria de fluxo de acordo com o seu tamanho (<1 μm) e pela expressão de marcadores de superfície (CD66b para MPs derivadas de neutrófilos e CD41b para MPs derivadas de plaquetas). Todas as amostras foram positivas para os anticorpos. Os níveis médios de CD66b + MPs e CD41b + MPs foram, respectivamente, 3.677.0 (2,553.2 - 9,059.8) MP/μL e 520.7 (432.9 - 766.1) MP/μL nos sítios profundos. Nos sítios rasos, os valores correspondentes foram 2,644.9 (1,451.5 - 3,858.9) MP/μL e 371.2 (287.2 - 692.7) MP/μL. Não houve diferença significativa entre os sítios rasos e profundos (p>0.05). Concluindo, o presente estudo reportou a presença de micropartículas derivadas de neutrófilos e plaquetas no fluido gengival de pacientes com periodontite e com diabetes tipo 2 .
