Abstract:ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of testing for active matrix metalloproteinase‐8 (aMMP‐8) by a quantitative point‐of‐care (PoC), chairside lateral flow immunotest and azurocidin, in the peri‐implant sulcular fluid (PISF), as biomarkers for the presence or absence of peri‐implant diseases.BackgroundCurrent research indicates that proinflammatory cytokines and extracellular matrix‐degrading enzymes may be of value to diagnose and predict peri‐implant disease initiation a… Show more
