Objectives: For years, periodontal disease diagnosis was based on clinical parameters, these conventional clinical parameters measure the result of the disease and the amount of tissue that has been damaged, however, provide no information about the activity, progression of disease and response to treatment. The host response to periodontal disease include the release of different enzymes, some of which relate to injury and tissue damage as the enzyme Alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of the enzyme ALT in stimulated saliva from healthy patients with periodontal disease as well as before and after periodontal treatment in order to find a biomarker for periodontal disease. Design: The study group consisted of 40 subjects, 20 with gingivitis and 20 periodontitis. The control group consisted of 20 healthy subjects. Stimulated saliva was collected with Paraffin technique of both groups in sterile tubes and ALT concentration determined through the spectrophotometer before and after periodontal therapy, the latter in the study group. Likewise Periodontal disease was determined based on clinical parameters such as the Oral Hygiene Index O leary, gingival bleeding index, probing depth and clinical adherence level. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences in ALT levels in the study group specifically for Periodontitis group (p <0.001). Similarly, the enzyme ALT levels decreased after periodontal therapy (p <0.001). Conclusions: Based on these results it can be concluded that the enzyme ALT levels in stimulated saliva can be considered a biomarker for periodontal disease and the evaluation of periodontal therapy. Key words: Diagnosis, Gingivitis, Periodontitis, Saliva.
