Comparative Assessment of Salivary Biomarker and Antioxidant Enzymes in Periimplantitis with Healthy Individuals

Abstract Objectives: This research was done to evaluate salivary 8-OHdG, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and GPx activities in patients with peri-implant diseases. Materials and Methodology: A total of 40 patients having dental implants were included for the study with 20 samples in each group as Group I—peri-implantitis, and Group II—healthy. To assess each subject’s clinical state, unstimulated whole saliva samples were taken; radiographic indicators of crestal bone loss (CBL), the plaque index (PI), and the gingival index (GI) were assessed.
