1. Introduction
In a state of health, gingival tissues withstand a persistent microbial onslaught proficiently countered by an efficient immune surveillance mechanism. Any deviation from this equilibrium engenders gingival diseases. Alarmingly, the worldwide prevalence of gingivitis exceeds 80% [1]. Transformations in gingival hue, shape, consistency, location, and superficial texture clinically characterize gingivitis. The most definitive clinical indicator of gingivitis is bleeding upon probing.
Gingival diseases can be dichotomized into dental plaque biofilm-induced gingivitis and non-dental plaque-induced gingival diseases. Dental plaque-induced gingivitis can be characterized at the site-specific level as “an inflammatory lesion, engendered by the dynamic interplay between dental plaque biofilm and the host’s immune-inflammatory reaction [2]. Importantly, this inflammation remains confined within the gingival domain without transgressing into the periodontal attachment. This localized inflammatory response remains restrained, never exceeding the mucogingival boundary, and is fully reversible upon mitigating levels of dental plaque proximal and below the gingival border. Although dental plaque microbes are the primary etiological agents, the pathogenesis of the disease is intrinsically modulated by myriad factors. Local determinants such as plaque-retentive anomalies and oral xerostomia, along with systemic modulators like tobacco use, hyperglycemia, malnutrition, pharmaceuticals, endocrinological fluctuations, especially during puberty, pregnancy, or due to oral contraceptive intake, and hematological anomalies act as key contributors. Moreover, environmental, systemic, genetic, and epigenetic factors further modulate the disease mechanism. From a clinical perspective, a case is earmarked as gingivitis when over 10% of sites demonstrate bleeding and possess a probing pocket depth of less than 3 mm [3].
Contrastingly, gingival diseases that are non-plaque induced do not ameliorate upon plaque eradication. These maladies can either be exclusively oral manifestations or symptomatic of systemic ailments. Gingival diseases that are not plaque-induced present a unique challenge as they do not improve upon plaque removal. These conditions may manifest in the oral cavity or indicate underlying systemic issues. They encompass a spectrum: genetic variations, infections caused by specific pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, to immune-inflammatory issues, including hypersensitivity reactions, skin and mucosal autoimmune conditions, and granulomatous and reactive lesions [4]. Additionally, there are neoplastic lesions, disorders arising from hormonal, metabolic, or nutritional imbalances, trauma-related lesions, and even unusual gingival pigmentation. This chapter is dedicated to a deeper exploration of biomarkers within these gingival disease contexts, providing a contemporary understanding and suggesting future research directions.
2. Biomarkers in diseases
With their inherent molecular specificity, Biomarkers occupy a cardinal position in periodontics, serving as pivotal tools in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring. Within the ambit of periodontics, biomarkers can be delineated based on their inherent stability: while biochemical and microbiological markers are static, encapsulating a point-in-time depiction of disease processes, histopathological and genetic markers are dynamic, reflecting continuous and evolving changes in tissue or genetic configurations [5].
In summation, elucidating and validating periodontal biomarkers signify a quantum leap in contemporary periodontics, promising transformative changes in diagnostic precision, prognostic accuracy, and therapeutic efficacy.
3. Role of biomarkers in gingival diseases
Gingival diseases are precursors to irrevocable degradation of periodontal tissues, manifesting the host’s immune inflammatory response that remains unchecked and unremedied against pathobionts. Diagnosing these diseases in their incipient stages and discerning active disease sites is paramount. Although the conventional methodology of periodontal screening and recording with a graduated periodontal probe remains the linchpin of diagnosis, its limitations are evident. For instance, full mouth gingival bleeding scores remain the archetypal metric to delineate a ‘Gingivitis Case.’ However, an over-reliance on bleeding scores poses challenges, given the low sensitivity of bleeding on probing.
Furthermore, probing inflamed or ulcerated tissues is not infrequently discomforting for both patient and clinician. The metrics denoting periodontal degradation, such as probing pocket depth and clinical attachment loss, only reflect antecedent periodontal destruction, offering no insights into contemporary disease dynamics. The quintessence of disease management lies in discerning susceptible individuals and sculpting patient-centric therapeutic strategies. A profound comprehension of the disease’s type, severity, and potential trajectory is instrumental for efficacious treatment planning and long-term management [7].
Current monitoring paradigms for gingival disease progression employ longitudinal evaluations encompassing bleeding indices, visual appraisals, and screenings to detect amplified probing pocket depth, attachment loss measures, and radiographic bone diminution. The intricate association between periodontal diseases and a panoply of systemic afflictions necessitates a precise quantification of periodontally inflamed surface areas and the systemic ramifications of the inflammatory burden engendered by these diseases at the individual patient echelon. A burgeoning field of research is gravitating toward discovering facile, economical, non-intrusive, and dependable biomarkers. The raison d’être for these biomarkers lies in identifying susceptible individuals, early diagnostic precision, disease progression assessment, oral inflammatory load quantification, therapeutic response evaluation, and the formulation of patient-tailored regimes for supportive periodontal therapy [9].
A contemporary shift in treatment paradigms has been observed, transitioning from traditional strategies where patients were mere passive care recipients to the more evolved ‘Precision Dental Medicine. This approach accentuates individualized diagnostic, therapeutic, and outcome metrics. The seminal 2017 AAP-EFP workshop underscored the exigency for the evolution and validation of minimally invasive diagnostic apparatus and the discernment of genetic predispositions or resistance factors [1, 10]. The Biomarker’s Definitions Working Group 2001 describes biomarkers as “alterations at the cellular, biochemical, molecular, or genetic levels which can highlight or differentiate between normal, abnormal, or specific biological processes [11]. Academically speaking, a biomarker is often understood as a uniquely characterized characteristic used to indicate typical biological processes, pathological processes, or responses to exposure or treatments [12].
4. Biomarkers in gingival and periodontal diseases
4.1 Microbial biomarkers in gingival diseases
Gingival diseases arise from the complex interplay between the host and the resident oral microbiota. A disruption in this delicate balance can precipitate disease onset and progression. Historically, the identification of microbes relied heavily on culture-based techniques. However, the advent of advanced molecular biology methods has marked a transition to more sophisticated molecular identification strategies, thereby increasing the precision of bacterial identification [13].
As gingival health deteriorates, there is a notable microbial shift. This involves transitioning from a mainly gram-positive environment in health to a predominantly gram-negative environment during gingivitis. Using advanced methods like 454-pyrosequencing, researchers have identified specific bacterial taxa associated with gingivitis, such as
The clinical relevance of microbial biomarkers in gingival diseases is manifold. These biomarkers can pinpoint pathogens linked to particular gingival diseases and guide treatments by determining antimicrobial susceptibilities [15]. Moreover, they offer insights into the ongoing activity of the disease, allowing for site-specific and individualized assessments. However, it is crucial to approach microbial biomarkers with caution. The current evidence has gaps, with some questioning the efficacy of these biomarkers in diagnosing and treating gingival diseases. The era of attributing gingival disease to a single microbial entity is fading. Contemporary research seeks to understand broader microbial community shifts during dysbiosis, considering microbial dynamics and host responses.
4.2 Inflammatory biomarkers in gingival Crevicular fluid (GCF)
Gingival diseases arise from complex interplays between host immune responses and microbial challenges. In this context, Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) emerges as an invaluable diagnostic tool (Table 1). Originating as an exudate from gingival tissues, GCF provides a unique glimpse into the ongoing inflammatory processes at the site of periodontal disease [97]. Its composition, teeming with blood derivatives, tissue breakdown products, and microbial metabolites, underscores its diagnostic potential. Furthermore, the non-invasive method of GCF collection renders it a practical choice for clinicians.

GCF’s cellular and molecular components paint a detailed picture of the local immune response. For instance, the cellular milieu of GCF includes neutrophils, which act as the vanguard against microbial invaders, epithelial cells, and various blood cells. On a molecular front, GCF is a reservoir of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA), complement components, cytokines, and markers of tissue degradation, offering a comprehensive insight into the immune response at the periodontal site [98].
Delving deeper into its contents, GCF presents a suite of inflammatory biomarkers. Cytokines, the molecular sentinels of our immune system, have been extensively studied in GCF, with certain ones like IL-1β and IL-8 implicated in gingivitis. Their levels can offer insights into disease severity and therapeutic outcomes. Chemokines, another class of signaling molecules, are also represented, with molecules like MCP-1 correlating with disease severity. Furthermore, prostaglandins such as PGE2, synthesized by macrophages and fibroblasts, play pivotal roles in processes like collagen degradation, making them potential therapeutic targets [99]. Another fascinating aspect of GCF is the presence of adipokines, cytokines derived from fat cells. Notable adipokines such as resistin and leptin have associations with disease progression, with leptin potentially playing a protective role.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in GCF, crucial for tissue remodeling, offer another layer of diagnostic potential. MMP-8, for instance, stands out as a reliable indicator of periodontal disease [100, 101]. Furthermore, GCF contains markers of bone remodeling, such as RANKL and OPG, which provide insights into alveolar bone turnover, a critical aspect of periodontal disease progression.
The broad spectrum of other biomolecules in GCF, ranging from enzymes like ALP and LDH to proteins like periostin and PTX-3, cements its importance in periodontal diagnostics. GCF is a treasure trove of biomarkers, presenting a promising avenue for disease diagnosis, therapeutic assessment, and prognosis in gingival diseases [102]. The intricate molecular pathways illuminated by studying GCF could spearhead targeted therapeutic strategies, heralding an era of precision medicine in periodontology. As our understanding deepens, future research promises to further refine the use of GCF in routine periodontal care.
4.3 Biomarkers in the saliva
As a diagnostic medium, saliva offers a promising and non-invasive approach to unearthing potential biomarkers in periodontal diseases [103]. Although it may not depict the intricate site-specific disease activity, saliva mirrors the overarching oral inflammatory scenario (Table 2).

Saliva is a treasure trove of information, offering a panoramic view of periodontal diseases. Its components can adeptly signal disease severity, evolution, and the efficacy of treatments, cementing its role in periodontal diagnostics. Yet, a clinician’s proficiency in harnessing these biomarkers remains paramount for optimal patient care.
4.4 Genetic and molecular biomarkers in periodontal diseases
Genetic predisposition plays a pivotal role in determining individual susceptibility to gingival diseases. Biomolecular markers, particularly genetic markers, map inherited differences among subjects to their DNA profile. The TNF-α and IL-1 gene polymorphisms have been shown to influence levels of inflammatory mediators in biofluids. Additionally, studies have noted differential responses in individuals to plaque accumulation, suggesting that genetic control primarily determines this [146, 147].
Interestingly, children with Down’s syndrome developed rapid and profound gingival inflammation upon exposure to dental plaque over 21 days. Twin studies have further reinforced the idea of genetic control over clinical expression patterns in periodontal diseases, with a significant 82% of population variance in gingivitis attributed to genetic susceptibility [148]. Dominant pathways of gene expression, particularly immune response, were identified in gingival biopsy samples from an experimental gingivitis study [149].
Modern genetic research integrates whole-genomic arrays with a specific mapping of candidate genes. These genes, identified for their biological significance in disease etiopathogenesis or supported by genomic studies, are examined for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) that could indicate susceptibility.
4.5 Key points
Polymorphisms at the promoter region of IL-6, IL-10, and IL-18 play crucial roles in gingival disease etiology [150].
A potential risk factor for children’s gingival diseases is the interaction between IL-18 and MMP-9 genes.
IL-1Ra gene polymorphisms indicate genetic susceptibility to gingival diseases.
4.6 Genes and periodontal disease susceptibility
Several candidate genes have been under investigation for their association with periodontal disease. Some key candidates include:
IL-1: A pro-inflammatory cytokine, divided into subfractions IL-1α and IL-1β, encoded by the IL-1 gene cluster at locus 2q13–21. IL-1α acts as an ‘alarming from necrotic cells, while IL-1β is crucial for innate immune response [151, 152, 153].
TNF-α: Another pro-inflammatory cytokine encoded at locus 6p21.3. Research has been inconclusive regarding its association with periodontal disease [154].
IL-6 and IL-10: These cytokines are in MMP activation and inflammation regulation, respectively. Their SNPs have been explored as potential genetic markers.
IFN-γ and TGF-β encoded on different chromosomes have been researched for their SNP’s potential relation to periodontal diseases.
MMP and TIMP: Key proteins in matrix degradation and inhibition, respectively, with their polymorphisms evaluated as potential biomarkers. No significant associations have been found.
Vitamin D: Significant in bone homeostasis and immune function, with polymorphisms in its receptor gene explored for their potential association with periodontal disease [154].
4.7 Proteomic and Metabolomic biomarkers
Proteomic studies provide a snapshot of the protein array within specific biological contexts. Periodontal research typically derives these from GCF, saliva, serum, and tissues from gingival regions using LC-MS/MS tools. Key findings include upregulated proteins like S100 proteins, MMP-8, and MMP-9 and downregulated ones like cystatins and cytokeratin [155]. Metabolomics, on the other hand, reflects enzymatic and metabolic pathways. Identified metabolites in periodontal diseases include products of microbial metabolism, host immune responses, and tissue degradation. Studies have noted a range of potential metabolite biomarkers from various sources like saliva and GCF [156].
4.8 Systemic inflammatory markers
The relationship between oral and systemic inflammation provides the rationale for exploring systemic inflammatory markers in periodontal inflammation. Although C-reactive protein is the most studied marker, its specificity for periodontal inflammation remains debatable [157]. Understanding genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic markers can revolutionize our approach to diagnosing and treating periodontal diseases. As we unravel these biomarkers, there is hope for more targeted and personalized treatments in periodontal care.
5. Clinical applications of gingival disease biomarkers
5.1 Diagnosis and screening
5.2 Prognosis and disease progression
5.3 Treatment monitoring
5.4 Risk assessment and personalized medicine
5.5 Precision periodontics
Precision medicine is reshaping healthcare. Within periodontics, this translates to treatments based not just on clinical presentation but also on a patient’s genetic, microbial, and biomolecular profile. This evolution ensures that each patient receives the most effective, least invasive, cost-effective care tailored to them. The vast potential of biomarkers in periodontics is gradually coming to fruition [165]. As research progresses and more biomarkers are identified and validated, the future of periodontal care looks increasingly personalized, precise, and promising.
6. Methods for biomarker detection and analysis in gingival diseases
6.1 Collection methods
Salivary swabs or sponges: These swabs, typically made of polyurethane foam or other absorbent materials, are placed in the mouth, allowing them to soak up saliva [168]. They are subsequently centrifuged or squeezed to extract the salivary sample.
6.2 Biochemical analyses
7. Advanced genomic and proteomic techniques
7.1 Imaging techniques
With the advancement of these methods, the realm of periodontal research and diagnosis is rapidly evolving. These techniques allow for precise identification and quantification of biomarkers and a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, paving the way for better therapeutic strategies.
8. Novel biomarkers and emerging research
As periodontal research advances, numerous novel biomarkers are being identified and explored for their potential in diagnosing, prognosis, and managing gingival diseases [15]. These developments shift the traditional understanding of gingival diseases toward more precise and individualized care.
9. Challenges and future directions
The pursuit of definitive biomarkers for periodontal diseases is both exciting and challenging. The potential rewards of early diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized therapeutic interventions make it a vibrant area of research. However, there are significant challenges to be surmounted.
Furthermore, the rise of ‘Lab on a Chip’ (LOC) technology is set to usher in a paradigm shift [190]. By combining laboratory precision with portability, LOC enables accurate diagnostics right at the patient’s side, minimizing delays and maximizing efficiency. As we stand on the brink of these technological advancements, it becomes evident that biomarker research in gingival diseases is evolving and redefining how we approach periodontal conditions. The confluence of biomarker panels, wearable diagnostic tools, and predictive algorithms heralds a future where treatments are more individualized, timely interventions, and optimized outcomes. However, realizing this potential requires sustained research efforts, collaborative approaches across disciplines, and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of technological possibilities. The overarching aim remains unwavering: to elevate patient care standards, reduce disease impact, and ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes in periodontology.
10. Conclusion
Biomarkers have emerged as invaluable tools in gingival diseases, offering insights far beyond traditional clinical observations. Their potential spans early detection, prognosis, treatment monitoring, and tailored therapeutic approaches, indicating a significant shift toward precision periodontics. Advanced techniques, ranging from ELISA to Next-Generation Sequencing, have expanded the toolkit for biomarker detection, ensuring enhanced specificity and sensitivity. The non-invasive diagnostic potential of Saliva and Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) promises more accessible screenings and regular monitoring, poised to revolutionize early interventions. As periodontal research delves deeper into microbiome-associated biomarkers, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and metagenomics, new avenues for more specific and reliable indicators of gingival health and disease are unveiled. However, the journey to integrating these findings into clinical practice is fraught with challenges, particularly the need for rigorous standardization and validation. Amalgamating multiple biomarkers could redefine diagnostic accuracy, while longitudinal studies may lay the foundation for robust predictive models. The emergence of point-of-care technologies, wearable devices, and MEMS heralds an era of real-time monitoring and detection. These advancements underscore the essence of collaborative efforts in the scientific community. At this juncture, integrating technology and biology suggests a future where gingival disease management is increasingly predictive, personalized, and efficient.
