Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to examine the usefulness of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in metabolomic analysis of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in order to objectively diagnose periodontitis at a molecular level.
Nineteen metabolites were identified using GC/MS. Total ion current chromatograms showed broad differences in metabolite peak patterns between GCF samples obtained from healthy sites, moderate-pocket sites, and deep-pocket sites. The intensity difference of some metabolites was significant at sites with deep pockets compared to healthy sites. Principal component analysis confirmed these observations by clearly delineating healthy sites and sites with deep pockets. These results suggest that metabolomic analysis of GCF is useful for discovery of potential biomarkers in establishing a new diagnostic method for periodontitis.
