Brief Summary

Today, to understand pathogenic mechanisms involved in periodontitis and peri-implantitis remains a challenge to identify biomarkers or therapeutic targets to improve prevention and screening, as well as the effectiveness of periodontitis and peri-implantitis treatments. The aim is to characterize, in vivo, specific molecular markers reflecting the activity of the pathology, which could lead to

  • improve the knowledge of the pathogenesis of periodontitis and peri-implantitis;
  • determine target molecules involved in tissue destruction;
  • determine molecular profiles of patients at local and systemic risk;
  • determine therapeutic targets For this purpose, biological samples will be collected (plaque, saliva, crevicular fluid) from patients with periodontitis or peri-implantitis stage 3 or 4 versus patients with a healthy periodontium. Biological samples will be collected before and all along the periodontal or peri-implantal treatment. Gingiva explants collection will be sampling within the surgical procedures (if they are needed). The primary objective is to investigate tissue and cellular expression of molecular markers associated with periodontal destruction during periodontitis or peri-implantitis in relation to periodontal infection and systemic changes in host response. A characterization of the cytokines in gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva (Luminex® technique) of patients with periodontitis or peri-implantitis versus without periodontitis or peri-implantitis will be done. The secondary objective is to study the influence of periodontitis on systemic pathologies via serum analysis of molecules and bacteria involved in periodontal destruction. Immunofluorescence evaluation of protein expression and distribution (inflammatory mediators, inflammatory pathway signaling proteins) in gingival explants, characterization of proteases (MMP) present in gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva (Luminex® technique) and microbiological analysis of the subgingival biofilm (by quantitative PCR).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Characterization of a panel of cytokines in gingival fluid of patients with periodontitis versus without periodontitis

    Analysis of gingival fluids and unstimulated saliva by the Luminex allows detection and quantification of 15 cytokines (IL- 1α, IL- 1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IFN γ, TNF) simultaneously

    1 month once the collection is completed

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Cytokines expression in periodontal cells

    6 months once the collection is completed

  • Cytokines expression in periodontal cells

    6 months once the collection is completed

  • Microbiological analysis of the subgingival biofilm determination of the percentage of periodontopathogens.

    3 months once the collection is completed

  • Characterization of proteases (MMP) present in gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva

    1 month once the collection is completed

Study Arms (3)

Case Periodontitis

Patients with stage 3 or 4 periodontitis

Procedure: Periodontal or peri-implantitis treatment

Case peri-implantitis

Patients should present at least 1 implant with peri-implantitis

Procedure: Periodontal or peri-implantitis treatment

Control (healthy periodontium)

Patients with gingival health on intact or reduced periodontium without a history of periodontitis or peri-implantitis and requiring surgical care such as dental avulsion or pre-prosthetic periodontal surgeries or aesthetic surgeries

Procedure: Control treatment

Interventions

For Cases : * Inclusion; Bacterial sampling, gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva collection; Teaching of oral hygiene techniques. * Non-surgical periodontal or peri-implantal treatment * At 3 months = periodontal or peri-implantal reevaluation; Bacterial sampling, gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva collection * If periodontal or peri-implantal pockets greater than 5mm and bleeding persist: surgery and gingival explant sampling * At 3 months post-surgery = periodontal or peri-implantal re-evaluation; Bacterial sampling, gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva collection * Maintenance

Also known as: Scaling and root planning, periodontal debridement, periodontal or peri-implantal surgery, open flap debridement, gingivectomy, crown lengthening, periodontal plastic surgery, pre-prosthetic periodontal surgery
Case PeriodontitisCase peri-implantitis

For Controls: * Inclusion; Bacterial sampling, gingival fluid and unstimulated saliva collection, teaching of oral hygiene techniques. * Plastic or pre-prosthetic surgery = gingival explant sampling * Healing control at 15 days

Study Population

This study concerns adult patients consulting the oral medicine departments of Hôpital Charles Foix (AP-HP, Ivry sur Seine) and Hôpital Rothschild (AP-HP, Paris) - Patients: Patients should have: \- localized or generalized periodontitis of stage 3 or 4. The diagnosis of periodontitis is based on the elements noted during the interview and the clinical examination. Or * at least 1 implant with peri-implantitis. The diagnosis is based on the findings of the interview, clinical examination and radiographic examination. * Controls: Patients with gingival health on intact or reduced periodontium with no history of periodontitis and requiring surgical care such as dental avulsion and pre-prosthetic periodontal corrective/aesthetic surgeries (coronal elongation, neck alignment
