| Core Tip |
Lower salivary uric acid concentrations, the most abundant antioxidant agent in saliva, have been observed in patients with periodontitis compared to individuals with periodontal health. The two novel findings of our research were, first, that low salivary uric acid concentrations are independently associated with periodontitis, even after accounting for established risk factors. Second, salivary uric acid levels show a negative correlation with periodontitis severity. |
