Abstract

Biomarkers are molecules that can be objectively measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological processes, pathological processes or pharmacological responses to therapeutic intervention. In the crevicular gingival fluid, biomarkers have been studied as host proteins including enzymes, immunoglobulins, interleukins, cytokines, chemokines and prostaglandins, which could be helpful in evaluating periodontal diagnosis and treatment outcomes, as well as monitoring patients at risk of develop periodontitis. The purpose of this review is to show some of the most studied biomarkers in periodontal disease.

Los biomarcadores son moléculas que pueden ser medidas objetivamente y evaluadas como indicadores de procesos biológicos normales, procesos patológicos o respuestas farmacológicas a la intervención terapéutica. En el fluido gingival crevicular se han estudiado biomarcadores como proteínas del huésped que incluyen enzimas, inmunoglobulinas, interleuquinas, citoquinas, quimioquinas y prostaglandinas, que podrían ser de ayuda para evaluar el diagnóstico periodontal y los resultados del tratamiento, además de monitorear pacientes en riesgo de desarrollar periodontitis. El propósito de esta revisión es mostrar algunos de los biomarcadores más estudiados en la enfermedad periodontal.
