superoxide dismutase enzyme and thiol antioxidants in gingival crevicular fluid and saliva
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: the possibility of impaired antioxidant status and so increased oxidative damage in periodontal disease is being conjectured. the present randomized controlled study was carried out with the objective of analyzing the activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme and thiol antioxidants in gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) and saliva as indicators of response to periodontal therapy. materials and methods: subjects were screened and randomly divided into three groups: 23 periodontally healthy controls, 24 with gingivitis, and 23 with periodontitis. based on the clinical attachment levels, the periodontitis group was further divided into subgroups, including mild, moderate, and severe periodontitis. gcf and saliva samples were collected for estimation of superoxide dismutase and thiol antioxidant concentrations at baseline and 15 days after nonsurgical treatment. intragroup comparisons were statistically analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance (p value <0.05). results: superoxide dismutase was present in greater quantities in the gcf compartment (100.32±3.67 u/0.5 ml) than in saliva (39.99±3.52 u/0.5 ml), with elevated levels in mild and moderate subgroups as compared with severe periodontitis. thiol concentrations were comparable in these media, 14.43±1.57 micromol /l in gcf and 15.09±2.26 micromol/l in saliva. following treatment, superoxide dismutase and thiol antioxidant concentrations significantly improved in all the patient groups. conclusion: the reduction of the inflammatory response following therapy resulted in improved antioxidant profiles in both the gcf and salivary compartments. key words: antioxidants, gingival crevicular fluid, gingivitis, periodontitis, saliva, superoxide dismutase

متن کاملHepatocyte Growth Factor Levels in the Saliva and Gingival Crevicular Fluid in Smokers with Periodontitis
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) production by oral fibroblasts is enhanced by various molecules that are induced during inflammatory conditions including periodontitis. HGF plays an important role in the progression of periodontitis, by stimulating intense growth of epithelial cells and preventing regeneration of connective tissue attachments. Smokers have a greater risk factor in the pathogenes...

Periodontal disease (PD) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (or diabetes). Various proinflammatory cytokines are expressed in the saliva, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum of diabetic patients with PD. The aim of this study was to review the proinflammatory cytokinees that are expressed in the saliva, GCF and serum of diabetic patients with PD. The addressed focused question was "Wh...
