| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the quantities of histatin 5 and Cu/Zn super oxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) in whole saliva sample from subjects divided into age groups ranging from 10 years to 70's (n=287) and to evaluate the individual risk for development of periodontal disease. The quantities of histatin 5 and Cu/Zn super oxide dismutase were determined hy using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit with a monoclonal antibody.
The results were as follows : 1)the quantities (μg/mg of total salivary protein) of histatin 5 and Cu/Zn SOD in whole saliva showed large individual differences, 2)the mean quantities of histatin 5 in subjects aged 10-19 years was 5.3, and it showed a tendency to decrease with advance of the value being 2.5 in the 70's age group, whereas the mean quantity of Cu/Zn SOD showed no significant difference (p<0.05,ANOVA) between age groups, and 3) the mean values of the quantity of both histatin 5 and Cu/Zn SOD showed a significant difference (p<0.05,Mann-Whitney test) in healthy people aged over 40 years in subjects aged over 40 years who had periodontal disease.
The results of this study suggest that it is possible to a new screening test kit that can be used at the chairside in a dental clinic for diagnosis ofperiodontal disease.
