BACKGROUND: Patients affected by periodontitis with pathologic migration of teeth need a treatment that controls periodontitis and returns teeth to an ideal position. The analysis of biomarkers related to the development of periodontitis can molecularly reflect the structural changes that occur teeth with reduced periodontium under orthodontic forces. The objective of the present study was to quantify the levels of IL-6, IL-17A, MMP-8, RANKL and OPG in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontitis-affected patients under orthodontic treatment. METHODS: GCF samples from periodontitis-affected patients under orthodontic treatment were analyzed. The samples were taken: Before periodontitis treatment, before orthodontic treatment, and between 1 week and 24 months after having started the orthodontic treatment. Then, the levels of IL-6, IL-17A, MMP-8, RANKL and OPG in the GCF were analyzed by ELISA. RESULTS: The detected levels of IL-6, IL-17A, MMP-8, RANKL and OPG did not significantly vary along the different evaluation time points. During orthodontic treatment, the RANKL:OPG relation and the MMP-8 levels were lower in all the time points, when compared with the ones analyzed before the periodontitis treatment. On the contrary, OPG levels were higher during the orthodontic treatment in comparison with before periodontitis treatment. CONCLUSION: The biomarkers’ levels did not vary during orthodontic treatment and these were lower than the levels detected during periodontitis. The orthodontic treatment did not lead to deleterious changes within the periodontium.
