Abstract

Objective

Recently, matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) has been used to diagnose periodontal disease in a point-of-care (POC) test in order to save time and cost relative to the traditional diagnostic workflow. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of INCLIX TRF MMP-8, a POC testing device for periodontitis using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values.

Materials and methods

Full-mouth periodontal examination and radiographic analysis were used for evaluating periodontal condition based on the 2018 classification of periodontal disease. A dichotomous diagnosis of clinical periodontal condition was performed using the POC device. The relationships among periodontal condition and the concentration of MMP-8, tooth loss (TL), gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and alveolar bone loss (ABL) were assessed by the Spearman rank correlations (rs).

Results

In all, 108 cases of non-periodontitis (NP) and 191 cases of periodontitis (P), including 38 cases of periodontitis stage I, 42 cases of periodontitis stage II, 99 cases of periodontitis stage III, and 11 cases of periodontitis stage IV, were enrolled in this study. Diagnostic accuracy in assessing periodontal condition with the POC device improved when it was used with participants aged ≥ 40 years. There were weak positive correlations between periodontal condition and MMP-8 and between periodontal condition and GI (rs2 = 0.1124 and rs2 = 0.0906, respectively), whereas a strong positive correlation between periodontal condition and alveolar bone loss (rs2 = 0.6877) was observed.

Conclusion

The POC device investigated in this study is a potential tool to distinguish between NP and P in individuals ≥ 40 years of age.
