Evaluation of Bone Destruction and Oxidative Stress Markers in Saliva and Peri-implant Sulcus Fluid in Peri-implantitis
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the levels of bone resorption (RANKL, OPG) and oxidative stress (Nitrotyrosine, NQO1) markers, along with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β), in the saliva and peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) of patients with peri-implantitis, periodontitis, and healthy individuals. The study seeks to determine the diagnostic value of these biomarkers in the early detection and progression of peri-implant diseases.
• Systemically healthy volunteers aged 18-65. For Peri-implantitis group: Implants in function for ≥1 year, radiographic bone loss ≥ 2 mm, probing depth (PD) ≥ 5 mm, and presence of bleeding on probing (BOP) or suppuration.
• For Periodontitis group: At least one tooth with PD ≥ 4 mm, presence of BOP, and radiographic bone loss.For Healthy groups: PD ≤ 3 mm, no clinical inflammation (BOP-), and no radiographic bone loss.
