TY - T1 - Cumulative use of salivary markers with an adaptive design improves detection of periodontal disease over fixed biomarker thresholds SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/305973 T3 - A1 - Gursoy, Ulvi Kahraman; Pussinen, Pirkko J.; Salomaa, Veikko; Syrjalainen, Sanna; Kononen, Eija A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Objective: Aim was to analyze the diagnostic ability of cumulative risk score (CRS), which uses salivary levels of Porphyromonas gingivalis, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 in an adaptive design, compared to previously reported thresholds of each marker alone. Materials and Methods: Oral and general health information of 463 participants were included in the analysis. Having the percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP) > 25%, having at least two sites with probing po...
