摘要

Inflammatory periodontal disease continues to be a major concern for dentists and patients. Indeed, over half of the subjects examined in the most recent UK Adult Dental Health survey had moderate periodontal disease on at least one tooth. Oxidative stress is thought to make a significant contribution to all inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis. Whilst the concept of host parasite interactions providing the primary aetiological influence still holds true an increasing body of evidence is now available to implicate oxidants, in particular reactive oxygen species (ROS), in the pathogenesis of periodontal tissue breakdown. In the oral cavity, both commensal and potentially pathogenic bacteria are separated from underlying host tissues by a unique epithelial barrier called junctional epithelium. Unfortunately, bacterial products may cause increased junctional epithelium permeability and damage the underlying connective tissue. Defence of this unique barrier is dependent upon gingival crevicular fluid (GCF; a plasma transudate containing components required for immune competence) and neutrophils. Phagocytosis of bacteria by neutrophils is accompanied by 'respiratory burst', involving a sudden increase in non-mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and the production of ROS. Although primarily an antibacterial killing mechanism, these cells when recruited in large numbers to the gingival crevice provide potential for local tissue damage. In periodontitis such tissue damage is thought to be amplified due to the presence of hyperreactive neutrophils able to produce enhanced levels of superoxide. Whilst evidence accumulates for the role of ROS in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, there is little data on the capability of the body to counteract such damage. Antioxidants are able to scavenge or prevent formation of these reactive species and may provide novel future therapies. Our group has previously reported the development of an enhanced chemiluminescent assay for determining total antioxidant defence in biological fluids including GCF. This paper describes initial results from ongoing studies to determine whether differences in periodontal health are associated with local (GCF and saliva) and systemic (plasma) antioxidant capacity.
