About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the levels of bone resorption (RANKL, OPG) and oxidative stress (Nitrotyrosine, NQO1) markers, along with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β), in the saliva and peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) of patients with peri-implantitis, periodontitis, and healthy individuals. The study seeks to determine the diagnostic value of these biomarkers in the early detection and progression of peri-implant diseases.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Salivary and Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) IL-1β Levels.
The concentration of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, will be measured in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) using ELISA kits to evaluate the severity of inflammation and bone destruction.
Secondary outcomes
Salivary and Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) Nitrotyrosine Levels
Concentration of Nitrotyrosine will be measured in saliva and PISF samples using ELISA kits. Nitrotyrosine serves as a biochemical marker of nitrosative stress to evaluate oxidative damage.
Salivary and Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) NQO1 Levels
NAD(P)H: Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) levels will be measured using ELISA kits to assess the local and systemic antioxidant defense response.
Salivary and Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) RANKL Levels
Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) levels will be measured to evaluate osteoclast activation and bone destruction potential.
Salivary and Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) OPG Levels
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels will be measured. OPG acts as a decoy receptor for RANKL, and its level indicates the body's attempt to inhibit bone resorption.
