Abstract

Objective: Pulpitis is an inflammatory condition of the dental pulp. The inflammatory status can be accurately assessed by histological examination. Biomarkers, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are effective indicators of inflammation severity. Among these, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has emerged as a key mediator of inflammatory processes associated with pulpitis. However, its clinical application as a biomarker remains limited owing to challenges in its extraction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MMP-9 extracted from the dentinal fluid as a biomarker for pulpitis. Methods: Dentinal fluid was collected using the blunt tip of a sterile paper point, following clean excavation of the cavities. The paper point was placed in a sterile tube containing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stored at −20 ºC. MMP-9 levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: MMP-9 was detected in three of four patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. Kruskal-Wallis test revealed a statistically significant difference in MMP-9 levels in the irreversible pulpitis group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: MMP-9 in dentinal fluid is a potential biomarker for irreversible pulpitis. However, further research is required to validate their diagnostic utility in clinical practice.

Abstract

United States. The trigeminal nerve might be the source of orof facial pain. Pain can be difficult to diagnose and treat due to the variability of pain complaints. miRNA 221-3p could be a potential biomarker for pain. Genetic polymorphisms and genetic mutations can lead to changes in the activity of inflammatory mediators, sex hormones, matrix-degrading enzymes, and the immune system, which affect bone remodeling homeostasis in the temporomandibular joint.Method: Scientific databases PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for articles published between 2013 and 2023 in order to conduct the study. 168 carefully selected publications providing information on possible biomarkers, particularly miRNA 221-3p, were included in the review of the literatureResult: Genetic polymorphisms and genetic mutations can lead to changes in the activity of inflammatory mediators, sex hormones, matrix-degrading enzymes, and the immune system, which affect bone remodeling homeostasis in the temporomandibular joint. In addition, activity changes were also observed in neurotransmitters and pain receptors, which resulted in relatively high pain sensitivity. Thus, this condition also increases susceptibility to TMD. Genetic analysis and biomarkers of temporomandibular disorders may improve sensitivity and specificity measures in diagnosing and treating patients with TMDConclusion: As a multifactorial disease, genetic factors are risk factors for TMD. Genetic polymorphisms and genetic mutations can lead to changes in the activity of inflammatory mediators, sex hormones, matrix-degrading enzymes, and the immune system, which affect bone remodeling homeostasis in the TMD
