Flow cytometry-based analysis by Sysmex-UF1000i® is an alternative method in the assessment of periodontal inflammation

Gingivitis is a common inflammatory condition. We explored the value of flow cytometry of saliva in patients with periodontal inflammation. A cohort of 249 healthy adults (age range: 18–81y; 2.5th to 97.5th percentile: 19–66y) was investigated for caries, dental plaque and gingivitis. Saliva was ana...

Description
Summary:Gingivitis is a common inflammatory condition. We explored the value of flow cytometry of saliva in patients with periodontal inflammation. A cohort of 249 healthy adults (age range: 18–81y; 2.5th to 97.5th percentile: 19–66y) was investigated for caries, dental plaque and gingivitis. Saliva was analyzed using flow cytometry on a Sysmex UF-1000i®. Sysmex UF-1000i® is capable to reproduce reliable measurements of cellular components in saliva. A statistically significant lower number of salivary bacteria was found in patients with gingivitis in comparison with healthy adults (p
