Aims: to evaluate changes in clinical periodontal parameters, salivary
levels of MMP-8 and MMP-9, in individuals taking Isotretinoin (INN), and compare
with individuals not taking the medication and to compare findings among
different stages of periodontal disease and healthy periodontium.
Material and methods: A case-control study was conducted with a total of
180 human adults divided into six groups. Clinical parameters, including pocket
depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were
measured at six sites per tooth. Whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected
from all subjects to detect salivary level of MMP-8, MMP-9 using Enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Software. Kruskal
Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to test any significant
differences in any of the groups on all parameters. Pearson Chi-square test was
used to compare the distribution of categorical responses across the study
groups. All tests were compared at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: In Gingivitis cases, INN group was found to have significantly
less BOP (P
