    • Active MMP-8 quantitative test as an adjunctive tool for early diagnosis of periodontitis 
      Hernández Ríos, Marcela; Baeza Paredes, Mauricio Enrique; Raisanen, Ismo; Contreras Balbontín, Johanna; Tervahartiala, Taina; Chaparro, Alejandra; Sorsa, Timo; Hernández Ríos, Patricia (MDPI, 2021)
      Periodontitis is a host-mediated bacterial disease that affects the tooth attachment apparatus. Metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), a validated biomarker, could aid in clinical diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ...
    • Biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid: Review of literature 
      Quesada, Jorge; Rivera Alvarez, Sonia (Universidad Costa Rica, Facultad odontología, 2017)
      Biomarkers are molecules that can be objectively measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological processes, pathological processes or pharmacological responses to therapeutic intervention. In the crevicular ...
    • Biomarkers in oral fluids as diagnostic tool for psoriasis 
      Jiménez, Constanza; Bordagaray San Martín, María José; Villarroel, José Luis; Flores, Tania; Benadof, Dafna; Fernández, Alejandra; Valenzuela Ahumada, Fernando (MDPI, 2022)
      Psoriasis is a prevalent worldwide chronic immuno-inflammatory skin disease with various variants and atypical cases. The use of biomarkers for the diagnosis of psoriasis can favor timely treatment and thus improve the ...
    • Bone resorptive activity in symptomatic and asymptomatic apical lesions of endodontic origin 
      Salinas Muñoz, M.; Garrido Flores, Carlos; Baeza Paredes, Mauricio; Huaman Chipana, P.; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Bologna, R.; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Hernández, M. (Springer, 2017)
      The aim of this study is to assess the levels and diagnostic accuracy of a set of bone resorption biomarkers, including TRAP-5, RANKL, and OPG in symptomatic and asymptomatic apical lesions and controls. Apical tissues ...
    • Diagnostic accuracy for apical and chronic periodontitis biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid: an ... 
      Baeza Paredes, Mauricio; Garrido Flores, Carlos; Hernández Ríos, Patricia; Dezerega Piwonka, Andrea; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Strauss Avendaño, Franz; Aitken Saavedra, Juan; Lesaffre, Emmanuel; Vanbelle, Sophie; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Brignardello Petersen, Romina; Tervahartiala, Taina; Sorsa, Timo; Hernández Ríos, Marcela (Wiley, 2016)
      AimThe aim of this study was to assess the levels and diagnostic accuracy of a set of potential biomarkers of periodontal tissue metabolism in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) ...
    • Early pregnancy levels of gingival crevicular fluid matrix metalloproteinases-8 and −9 are associated with ... 
      Chaparro, Alejandra; Realini, Ornella; Hernández Ríos, Marcela; Albers, Daniela; Weber, Laura; Ramírez, Valeria; Param, Fernanda; Kusanovic, Juan Pedro; Sorsa, Timo; Rice, Gregory Edward; Illanes, Sebastián E. (Wiley, 2020)
      Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide and women with a history of GDM are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes which is a risk factor for periodontitis. Aim To explore the association ...
    • Inflammatory biomarkers in dentinal fluid as an approach to molecular diagnostics in pulpitis 
      Brizuela, C.; Meza, G.; Mercadé, M.; Inostroza, C.; Chaparro, A.; Bravo, I.; Briceño, C.; Hernández, M.; Giner, L.; Ramírez, V. (Wiley, 2020)
      Aim To explore a set of inflammatory biomarkers obtained from dentinal fluid (DF) from patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (IP), reversible pulpitis (RP) and normal pulp (NP). Methodology A cross-sectional ...
    • Matrix metalloproteinases and myeloperoxidase in gingival crevicular fluid provide site-specific diagnostic ... 
      Leppilahti, Jussi; Hernández Ríos, Patricia; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Tervahartiala, Taina; Brignardello Petersen, Romina; Mantyla, Paivi; Sorsa, Timo; Hernández, Marcela (2014)
      Aim: To identify the diagnostic accuracy of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) candidate biomarkers to discriminate periodontitis from the inflamed and healthy sites, and to compare the performance of two independent matrix ...
    • MMP-8, TRAP-5, and OPG levels in GCF diagnostic potential to discriminate between healthy patients’, mild ... 
      Hernández, Marcela; Baeza Paredes, Mauricio; Contreras Balbontín, Johanna; Sorsa, Timo; Tervahartiala, Taina; Valdés Salgado, Macarena; Chaparro, Alejandra; Hernández Ríos, Patricia (MDPI, 2020)
