Distinct Microbial and Host Proteome Signatures Relate to Proteolytic Activity in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in an Exploratory Study of Patients With Periodontitis.
AIM Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial community composition and host proteome.
