Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
