This study aimed to analyze the correlations of inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress markers, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) with peri-implantitis (PI). Forty patients receiving dental implantation were enrolled. There were 52 implants, which were divided into PI group (42 implants) and health implant (HI) group (10 implants). Fifty-two healthy teeth (HT) with the same names with affected teeth in the patients were selected as the control group. The periodontal status was recorded. The GCF was collected and quantified. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA), MMP-13, and MMP-8 were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results showed that the probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, GCF volume, and TNF-α, IL-6, hs-CRP, MMP-8, and MMP-13 levels in GCF in PI group were significantly higher than HI and HT groups, respectively ( P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The SOD and GSH-Px levels in PI group were significantly lower than HI and HT groups, respectively ( P < 0.05). Excepting hs-CRP, there was no significant difference of each index between HI and HT groups ( P > 0.05). In conclusion, TNF-α, IL-6, hs-CRP, SOD, GSH-Px, MMP-8, and MMP-13 are involved in the occurrence of PI, and they may be used as auxiliary indicators to evaluate the degree of PI. In addition, the clinical periodontal index probing depth and sulcus bleeding index are positively correlated with GCF volume, hs-CRP, MMP-8, and MMP-13.

Background: One of the most common complications of pregnant women is gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Oxidative stress can play an important role in GDM. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate salivary antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in GDM. Method: Twenty pregnant women with GDM and 20 healthy pregnant women with normal blood glucose test participated in this study. Five mL of unstimulated saliva samples were collected. Spectrophotometric assay was carried out for sialochemical analysis. Stata software was used for data analysis. Results: The GDM group exhibited no significant difference in salivary total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde compared to the healthy control group. All of antioxidants markers, the uric acid, total antioxidant, peroxidase and catalase, decreased in GDM group that the difference of peroxidase and catalase was statistically significant. All of oxidative stress markers, the salivary malondyaldehid, total oxidative stress and total thiol, increased in GDM group. GDM group exhibited significantly higher salivary total oxidative stress levels. Conclusion: Catalase level was significantly lower and total oxidative stress was significantly higher. These two markers might have significant importance and might exhibit early changes compared to other factors in GDM. . Some of salivary antioxidants might have diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic implications in GDM. Other studies with large sample size on salivary and blood samples need to be done to confirm this properties and salivary samples using instead of blood samples in GDM biomarkers changes.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between antioxidant and oxidative stress markers in the saliva of patients with type 2 DM and a healthy control group. Methods: In this study, 20 patients with diabetes and 20 healthy individuals were evaluated. Salivary antioxidants markers consisted of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), uric acid (UA), peroxidase and catalase. Oxidative stress markers included total oxidant status (TOS), malondealdehyde (MDA) and total thiol (SH). Sialochemical analysis was performed with spectrophotometric assay. All the statistical analyses were conducted using STATA software. Results: TAC decreased significantly in patients with diabetes. Although salivary UA and peroxidase were lower in patients with diabetes compared to the control group, the difference was not significant. Salivary catalase in patients with diabetes was significantly lower than that in the control group. MDA and TOS exhibited significantly higher levels in type 2 DM. SH levels were slightly higher in DM. Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, there were some changes in the salivary levels of some antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in patients with type 2 DM and could be measured as an indicator of serum changes..
