Progression Of Proteomics In Periodontics

Review Article

Abstract

Introduction: Proteins are the primary components of cell metabolic pathways. They are responsible for the structural and functional aspects of all living beings. Numerous protein molecules play a indispensable role in the onset, progression, and severity of periodontal disease. Proteomics, the study of expression of proteomes and their functions, has revolutionized dentistry by assisting in the early detection of many disorders through the detection of several biomarkers found in oral secretions. Information from proteins related to the periodontal disease pathogenesis can be used for diagnosis, as means that aids in prevention and supportive treatment. Apart from this, proteomics has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of oral diseases in terms of detecting risk factors, quick diagnosis, prevention, and control, as well as changes the therapeutic philosophy in all areas of dental sciences.
