Diagnostic Accuracy of Active MMP-8 Point-of-Care Test in Peri-Implantitis
The aMMP-8 is a promising biomarker for peri-implantitis, showing elevated levels in affected patients. The aMMP-8 chairside test demonstrates high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, supporting its use in early detection and monitoring of peri-implant diseases. Further research is needed to establish standardized protocols for its clinical application and to explore its long-term predictive value in implant care.
