J Periodontol 2023; 94:1166-1175. [PMID: 37006132 DOI: 10.1002/jper.22-0750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In periodontitis, the equilibrium between bone formation and resorption skews in favor of bone loss. Periodontal ligament-associated protein-1 (PLAP-1) and sclerostin play a significant role in the suppression of bone formation. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a central proinflammatory cytokine related to periodontal bone loss. This study aims to assess gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) PLAP-1, sclerostin, and TNF-α levels in individuals with periodontal disease. METHODS Seventy-one individuals diagnosed with generalized stage III grade C periodontitis (n = 23), gingivitis (n = 24), and periodontal health (n = 24) were included in the study. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements were performed. PLAP-1, sclerostin, and TNF-α total amounts in GCF were quantified by ELISA. Nonparametric methods were used for the data analyses. RESULTS Periodontitis group exhibited significantly higher GCF PLAP-1, sclerostin and TNF-α levels compared with gingivitis and periodontally healthy groups (p < 0.05). GCF PLAP-1 and TNF-α levels of gingivitis group were higher than healthy controls (p < 0.05) whereas GCF sclerostin levels were similar in two groups (p > 0.05). Significant positive correlations were found between GCF PLAP-1, sclerostin and TNF-α levels and all clinical parameters (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first study showing GCF PLAP-1 levels in periodontal health and disease. Increased GCF PLAP-1 and sclerostin levels and their correlations with TNF-α in periodontitis imply that those molecules might be involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Further studies in larger mixed cohorts are needed to enlighten the possible role of PLAP-1 and sclerostin in periodontal bone loss.

Assessment of sclerostin levels in the gingival crevicular fluid of patients with periodontitis: A clinico-biochemical crosssectional study. JOURNAL OF ADVANCED PERIODONTOLOGY & IMPLANT DENTISTRY 2023; 15:3-9. [PMID: 37645545 PMCID: PMC10460775 DOI: 10.34172/japid.2023.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Background Sclerostin, a glycoprotein, plays a key role in regulating bone mass. In this study, sclerostin levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were assessed in patients with Stage III Grade C generalized periodontitis (SIII-GC) and Stage III Grade B generalized periodontitis (SIII-GB). Methods This cross-sectional study included 30 participants divided equally into three groups: group I (gingival health), group II (SIII-GC), and group III (SIII-GB). Clinical periodontal parameters like plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing pocket depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded. A sandwich ELISA was used to determine the sclerostin levels in GCF samples. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests were used to analyze the clinical parameters and GCF sclerostin levels. The association between GCF sclerostin levels and periodontal parameters was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). Results Patients in groups II and III had much higher sclerostin levels in their GCF than in group I (P≤0.05). In contrast, no significant difference in sclerostin levels was observed between the two diseased conditions (P=0.841). Concerning periodontal parameters, a statistically significant difference was observed between the three groups. There was a positive correlation between the periodontal clinical parameters and the expression levels of sclerostin in GCF (P≤0.05). Conclusion Increased expression of sclerostin in GCF in patients with periodontitis indicated that it could be considered a reliable biomarker of periodontal disease activity.

[PMID: 35806779 PMCID: PMC9267226 DOI: 10.3390/ma15134655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The osseointegration of implants is defined as the direct anatomical and functional connection between neoformed living bone and the surface of a supporting implant. The biological compatibility of implants depends on various parameters, such as the nature of the material, chemical composition, surface topography, chemistry and loading, surface treatment, and physical and mechanical properties. In this context, the objective of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility of rough (Ra = 1 µm) and smooth (Ra = 0 µm) surface conditions of yttria–zirconia (Y-TZP) discs compared to pure zirconia (ZrO2) discs by combining a classical toxicological test, morphological observations by SEM, and a transcriptomic analysis on an in vitro model of human Saos-2 bone cells. Similar cell proliferation rates were observed between ZrO2 and Y-TZP discs and control cells, regardless of the surface topography, at up to 96 h of exposure. Dense cell matting was similarly observed on the surfaces of both materials. Interestingly, only 110 transcripts were differentially expressed across the human transcriptome, consistent with the excellent biocompatibility of Y-TZP reported in the literature. These deregulated transcripts are mainly involved in two pathways, the first being related to “mineral uptake” and the second being the “immune response”. These observations suggest that Y-TZP is an interesting candidate for application in implantology.

Expression of Wnt signaling agonists and antagonists in periodontitis and healthy subjects, before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment: A systematic review. J Periodontal Res 2022; 57:698-710. [PMID: 35719081 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Periodontitis is a preventable and treatable multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to irreversible periodontal destruction and tooth loss. Wnt signaling and its regulators play an important role in periodontal inflammation, destruction, regeneration, and reconstruction. This systematic review aimed at investigating the involvement of Wnt signaling agonists and antagonists in periodontitis and healthy subjects, before and after periodontal treatment. Electronic searches were carried out using MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases in addition to hand searches. Studies having different designs assessing the levels of Wnt signaling antagonist and agonist levels in gingival crevicular fluid, serum, and tissue in patients diagnosed with periodontitis or gingivitis, compared with healthy individuals were included. In addition, studies compared these levels in periodontitis patients before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy were also eligible. Sixteen studies met the eligibility criteria. Sclerostin (SOST) has been mainly investigated in the literature (8 publications). Sclerostin (5 studies), Wnt-5a (2 studies), secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1) (3 studies), and β-catenin (3 studies) show increased levels in periodontitis compared with periodontal health. Strong correlations between marker levels and periodontal clinical parameters were identified for SOST (5 studies), SFRP1 (2 studies), and β-catenin (2 studies). SOST (3 studies) and SFRP1 (1 study) levels significantly decrease following non-surgical periodontal treatment. The present systematic review demonstrated an association between Wnt signaling agonist and antagonist levels and periodontitis. Wnt agonists and antagonists may serve as valuable diagnostic and prognostic markers for periodontitis onset and progression. Further case-control and longitudinal studies should be conducted for different Wnt signaling agonists and antagonists.

Evaluation of GCF IL-17, IL-10, TWEAK and sclerostin levels after SRP and adjunctive use of diode laser application in periodontitis patients. J Periodontol 2021; 93:1161-1172. [PMID: 34962665 DOI: 10.1002/jper.21-0494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) and also determine the biochemical profile by evaluating the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-10, TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and sclerostin. METHODS A total of 40 systemically healthy, stage III periodontitis patients were included in this randomized controlled study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as scaling root planning (SRP) + diode laser(L) (0.80W power, 940nm wavelength and 0.80J/s energy level) and only SRP group. Recording of periodontal parameters and collecting GCF samples were performed at baseline, 1st and 3rd months. Biomarker levels in GCF were measured with ELISA . RESULTS At baseline, no significant difference was detected between groups in terms of both clinical and biochemical parameters. All biochemical parameters (except for IL-10 in control group), presented a statistically significant difference for 3 months study period in both groups. When laser and control groups were compared, significant differences were not observed, except the lower GCF IL-17 levels (p = 0.025), bleeding on probing (p = 0.028) and clinical attachment level (CAL) (p = 0.0002) values in laser group at 3rd , 1st and 3rd months, respectively. Statistically significant correlations were also noted between biochemical parameters and clinical parameters. CONCLUSION The GCF IL-17, TWEAK and sclerostin levels may be useful for monitoring response to SRP+L therapy. However, long-term studies on higher populations are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of adjunctive use of diode laser application to SRP. This article is protected by copyright.
