Abstract
Rat salivary antioxidant activity towards O2â was up-regulated by the inflammatory response caused by P. gingivalis infection. Similar response was recognized in human saliva with periodontal index. Additionally, a linear correlation between antioxidant activity towards O2â and SOD activity was verified by ESR technique. Therefore, evaluation of the salivary antioxidant activity towards O2â might be an effective parameter for the objective assessment of periodontal disease progression.
