Periodontitis |
Background: Periodontitis is a prevalent silent infectious disease worldwide, and affects lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes. Therefore, efficient screening of patients is essential for general health. This study was performed to evaluate prospectively the diagnostic utility of a blood IgG antibody titer test against periodontal pathogens.
Methods: Oral examination was performed and blood IgG antibody titers against periodontal pathogens were measured by ELISA, in 1387 subjects. The cut-off value of IgG titer was determined in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and changes in periodontal clinical parameters and IgG titers by periodontal treatment were evaluated. The relationships between IgG titers and severity of periodontitis were analyzed.

those with periodontitis and those without periodontitis
|
- Level of IgG antibodies in serum/plasma against periodontal pathogens [ Time Frame: 1 to 3 months after basic periodontal treatment (Scaling and root planing) ]
Serum/plasma samples will be screened for the presence of IgG antibodies against the below mentioned periodontal pathogens, using the "ELISA" method.
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Eikenella corrodens, Prevotella intermedius, Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Periodontal pocket depth [ Time Frame: 1 to 3 months after basic periodontal treatment ]Clinical observation on periodontal pocket depth before and after basic periodontal treatment, in order to confirm appropriate effects of the treatment.
- Bleeding on probing [ Time Frame: 1 to 3 monthsafter basic periodontal treatment ]Judging from bleeding from gingiva after periodontal pocket probing, degree of inflammation will be understood.
- Tooth mobility [ Time Frame: 1 to 3 months after basic periodontal treatment ]Clinical observation to understand decrease of inflammation
