Salivary electrolytes in patients suffering from periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine levels of salivary copper, magnesium, chloride, potassium and sodium in healthy subjects and in subjects with periodontal disease. Material and Methods: The study included 76 individuals divided in two groups. The test group consisted of 35 patients with diagnosis of chronic or aggressive periodontitis, and 41 subjects with no sign of periodontal disease. Clinical measurements were recorded (pocket probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing and plaque index), and unstimulated whole saliva samples were obtained. The levels of sodium, potassium and chloride were determined by indirect potentiometry, copper was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and levels of magnesium were determined by spectrophotometric method with xylidil blue. Parametric statistical tests were used for data analysis. Results: No significant difference in salivary phosphate, sodium, potassium, and chloride were found between the control and the test group. Patients with periodontitis had significantly higher salivary copper concentration compared to the control group. No significant differences in salivary phosphate, sodium, chloride and copper were found between patients with chronic and aggressive periodontitis ; however there was significant difference in potassium level between chronic and aggressive periodontitis patients. Conclusion: Significantly higher salivary copper concentration in the test group might reflect increased antimicrobial activity or ineffective enzymatic activity of the copper containing enzymes. Further studies with a larger sample-size are needed to confirm the findings of the present study, with a special emphasis on a particular form of periodontitis.
