Summary: | Objectives
The aim of the present investigation was to determine the profile of peri‐implant crevicular fluid (PICF) biomarkers combined with microbial profiles from implants with healthy peri‐implant tissues and peri‐implantitis to assess real‐time disease activity.
Material and methods
Sixty‐eight patients were included in this cross‐sectional study. They were divided into two groups: 34 patients with at least one healthy implant (control) and 34 with at least one peri‐implantitis affected implant (test). Total DNA content and qPCR analysis for periodontal bacteria obtained from subgingival plaque samples (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola) and a PICF analysis for IL‐1β, VEGF, MMP‐8, TIMP‐2, and OPG were performed. The individual and combined diagnostic ability of each biomarker for peri‐implantitis and target bacterial species were analyzed.
Results
The mean concentration of IL‐1β (44.6 vs. 135.8 pg/ml; P |
