Resumen

ACUNA, Miguel Jorge  y  JUAREZ, Rolando Pablo. Salivary mucin concentration in patients with periodontal disease. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.38, e206.  Epub 30-Sep-2021. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2021n37e206.

This work aimed to study the relationship between salivary mucin concentration and periodontal disease.

The sample was divided into three groups of 20 individuals each: Group 1 with no periodontal disease, Group 2 with gingivitis, and Group 3 with periodontitis.

Mucin was detected in all the saliva samples. Group 1 had an average value of 1.27 mg/ml. Group 2 had an average value of 1.93 mg/ml. Group 3 had an average value of 3.01 mg/ml.

The analysis of variance and subsequent F test (F = 25.01, p < 0.0001) confirmed significant differences in mucin content between the groups.

Increased salivary mucin concentration in periodontal patients could be a useful chemical marker for the clinical diagnosis of periodontal disease.

Palabras clave : saliva; mucin; gingivitis; periodontitis.
