“…It represents the oral condition and also has some elements of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and tissue metabolites that may be helpful in the tissue degradation. In addition, stimulated salivary flow has been proved to increase saliva volume and disrupt the concentration [31][32][33]. There are evidences that saliva has considerable antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress may happen as a consequence of LPO, and impaired capacity of saliva antioxidant power.…”

Objective: Reactive oxygen species have been identified as potential factors causing periodontal tissue destruction. Elevated levels of these in patients with chronic periodontitis and diabetes may aggravate the oxidative stress burden thereby accelerating the tissue damage associated with diabetes. The present study aimed to assess the effect of diabetes and periodontal disease on the oxidative stress markers and the effect of non-surgical therapy on these markers.Methods: A total of 50 participants were divided into four groups based on the selection criteria. In addition to clinical parameters and biochemical parameters (salivary nitric oxide [NO] and malondialdehyde [MDA] levels) were assessed using spectrophotometric method at baseline and 3 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy.Result: There was a statistically significant difference in the clinical parameters as well as NO and MDA levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic periodontitis than other three groups at baseline and at 3 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Conclusion:Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis have a compounding effect on the oxidative stress. Periodontal therapy is essential for diabetic patients as it can lower the levels of oxidative damage.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the values of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the saliva of children and young teenagers with and without gingivitis. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 children and young teenagers of the mean age of 12.2 participated in the research. Gingival condition was assessed using the Löe and Silness Gingival Index. The subjects were divided into groups of those without gingivitis and those with gingivitis. Samples of unstimulated saliva were collected, and TAC, CAT and GPX were determined spectrophotometrically. Results: By comparing the values of TAC, CAT and GPX in subjects with and without gingivitis, significantly lower values of TAC (p < 0.001) and CAT (p < 0.001) were observed in the group of subjects with gingivitis. The correlation analysis of these values showed a positive correlation in groups of subjects not suffering from gingival inflammation and those with gingival inflammation. Conclusions: The study showed significantly lower values of TAC and CAT in the saliva of subjects with gingivitis. This indicates their possible role as a potential biomarker in the early diagnosis and expression of periodontal disease in children and young teenagers.
