An Evaluation of Salivary Oxidant and Antioxidant Levels in Peri-implant Health and Disease
In Brief
An observational study for Peri-Implantitis and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 88 participants.
Detailed Summary
Objectives: Inflammatory lesions develop in the tissues surrounding implants are referred to as peri-implant diseases. Oxidants, play a role in inflammatory lesions. The study aimed to determine oxidant and antioxidant levels in the saliva of patients with various levels of peri-implant diseases and the relationship between oxidative stress and peri-implant diseases. Material and methods: Sixty-seven patients with at least one dental implant applied in our clinic were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups; with peri-implantitis (PI), with marginal bone loss (MBL) and with healthy peri-implant (HI) tissues. Twenty-one individuals who didn't have any dental implants were included the study as a healthy control group (HC). For oxidant concentration, total oxidant status (TOS), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), and for antioxidant concentration, total antioxidant status (TAS), were investigated.
