Resumen:
Background and objective: Salivary mucin and amylase levels are increased in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP). Because aggressive periodontitis (AgP) not only differ from chronic periodontitis in its clinical manifestation, the aim of this study was to compare the salivary mucin and amylase levels and their relation with clinical parameters of patients with aggressive periodontitis with that of patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials and methods: Eighty subjects were divided into two groups: 20 patients with AgP and their 20 matched controls and 20 patients with CP and their 20 matched controls, based on clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing pocket depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BOP). Whole unstimulated saliva was obtained and mucin, amylase and protein were determined by colorimetric methods. Pearson?s correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between salivary mucin, amylase and protein levels and the clinical parameters. Results: Salivary mucin, amylase and protein levels were increased in patients with AgP and CP but there were no differences between them or between control groups. Pearson?s correlation analysis, determined in the entire subjects studied, showed a positive and significant correlation of mucin, amylase and proteins with CAL and PPD and a negative correlation with the flow rate. When Pearson?s correlation analysis was carried out in each group separately, Fisher´s z transformation showed no significant difference between both groups. Conclusion: Comparison of the salivary levels of mucin, amylase and protein and their relationship with clinical parameters of AgP patients with that of CP patients revealed no differences between both groups.
