miRNAs in Periodontal Disease

Summary

It has been stated that microRNA (miRNA) play an important role in development, homeostasis and immune functions, and abnormal miRNA expression may cause faster disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine miR-203, miR-142-3p, miR-146a, miR-146b, miR-155, miR-29b gene expressions in saliva of the patients with periodontal disease before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) and to evaluate the effect of smoking on these miRNAs. A total of 90 individuals, 30 with periodontitis, 30 with gingivitis, and 30 periodontally healthy (control group), were included. These three groups were divided into subgroups as smoking and non-smoking individuals, with 15 people in each group. NSPT was applied to patients with periodontitis and gingivitis. Saliva samples and clinical parameters were taken from at baseline and repeated 6 weeks after NSPT.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Control

probing pocket depth (PPD)≤ 3 mm (presence of normal gingival sulcus), bleeding on probing (BOP) \< 10%, clinical absence of periodontal inflammation, radiological bone loss, and any prior periodontal disease, additionally presence of anatomically intact periodontium and nonsmokers if they had no previous history of smoking

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Smokers with periodontally healthy

probing pocket depth (PPD)≤ 3 mm (presence of normal gingival sulcus), bleeding on probing (BOP) \< 10%, clinical absence of periodontal inflammation, radiological bone loss, and any prior periodontal disease, additionally presence of anatomically intact periodontium and smokers if they had smoked ≥10 cigarettes/day for ≥5 years

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Non-smokers with gingivitis

without attachment and alveolar bone loss who had gingival inflammation, PD ≤ 3 mm and BOP \> 30% in the full mouth and nonsmokers if they had no previous history of smoking

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Smokers with gingivitis

without attachment and alveolar bone loss who had gingival inflammation, PD ≤ 3 mm and BOP \> 30% in the full mouth and smokers if they had smoked ≥10 cigarettes/day for ≥5 years

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Non-smokers with periodontitis

interdental clinical attachment level (CAL) ≥ 5 mm and PPD ≥ 6 mm on at least two non-adjacent teeth, bone loss involving the middle or apical third of the root radiographically, moderate ridge defect and ≥30% of teeth and nonsmokers if they had no previous history of smoking
