Evaluation of Immunoassay‐Based MMP‐8 Detection in Gingival Crevicular Fluid on a Point‐of‐Care Platform

Abstract: A novel immunology-based point-of-care test has been designed to assess the activated form of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) for diagnosis and monitoring of periodontal diseases. The test has been automated using an analyzer, which quantitatively measures aMMP-8 in 18 min in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Fluid samples were collected from healthy, gingivitis-, and periodontitis-affected teeth. The test results from the analyzer were compared with quantitative aMMP-8 immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) and i… Show more

“…The diagnostic and prognostic plaque or GCF markers for periodontitis include: 1) the presence of specific bacteria (including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans [previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans]); 49 2) bacterial products of metabolism (e.g., volatile sulfur compounds 50 or specific proteases; 51 3) biomarkers involved in the disease process but produced by the host (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases, 52 neutrophil elastase, and alkaline phosphatase); 53,54 4) biomarkers of tissue damage (e.g., hydroxyproline/collagen fragments); 53,55 and 5) other markers of the inflammatory process, such as prostaglandin E 2 and interleukin-1. 53 However, despite the complex nature of periodontal diseases, which involve a multifaceted immune and inflammatory reaction to a polymicrobial flora, and the interindividual variations in inflammatory responses, 56 such potential biomarkers are generally studied individually or, rarely, in small numbers.…”

“…En la actualidad ya existen algunos dispositivos de uso en clínica para determinar experimentalmente los niveles de estos biomarcadores, particularmente para la MMP-8. Al respecto se ha visto que las variaciones en los niveles de esta enzima pueden diferenciar sujetos sanos, de sujetos con gingivitis y periodontitis, como también evaluar la respuesta al tratamiento periodontal e identificar sujetos en riesgo de progresión (26)(27)(28) . De este modo, una herramienta no invasiva para detectar la presencia de inflamación periapical como el FCG sería de gran utilidad como complemento a la evaluación clínico-radiográfica de dientes con PAA, particularmente en aquellos casos en que la interpretación radiográfica sea incierta (29) .…”
