BIOMARKERS- A PEEK INTO PERIODONTAL DISEASE PROGRESSION
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
A biomarker is naturally occurring molecule or gene or characteristic by which a particular pathological process or a disease can be identified. Conventional periodontal disease diagnosis is based on summation of past events. It also cannot predict the future of disease progression. There is always a quest for newer diagnostic techniques which along with identifying the current status help in predicting the future progression. Periodontal biomarkers can certainly be one such candidate. There is plethora of biomarkers present in oral fluids viz. Gingival Crevicular Fluid, saliva and blood whose levels are specifically associated with disease progression. Commercial diagnostic kits are available to diagnose these biomarkers and are calibrated according to diagnostic needs.
