An Approach Towards Salivary Biomarkers Of Periodontal Disease – “Marker To Cease Disease”

Abstract

Periodontal diseases are complex, multifactorial chronic inflammatory infections which affect the bone and soft tissue that support the teeth. Microorganisms and microbial products in the plaque biofilm are the main etiologic factors that lead to degradation of the supportive periodontal structures. In addition, the host immune response, as well as local and systemic factors, plays a significant role in the process of destruction or maintenance of the periodontium.Biomarker is the predictor for periodontal disease progression, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
