Quantitative Assessment of Levels of Salivary Thiocyanate and Lactate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activity in Smokers with Periodontitis
Saliva, an easily collected and noninvasive sample, contains valuable markers, like SCN and LDH, of periodontal disease derived from systemic and local sources. In this study, the salivary biomarkers were assessed using upfront biochemical techniques that are widely used in various scientific fields because of their versatility, quantitative capabilities, speed, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.
