Identification of new molecular biomarkers with high diagnostic accuracy to detect untreated periodontitis and its response to treatment

This project develops an analysis and comparison of the biological processes and functional mechanisms of salivary proteomes, as well as the differential expression of proteins associated with health and untreated and treated periodontitis for the identification and validation of new salivary biomarkers for the diagnosis of periodontitis, defining their corresponding predictive models and diagnostics thresholds.

Objectives

The main objective of the project is to identify new molecular biomarkers associated with periodontitis, analyzing the diagnostic capacity of these molecules for the detection of untreated periodontitis and its response to treatment.
