From biological evidence to clinical application: a scoping review of oral fluid biomarkers in type 2 diabetic periodontitis.

Researchers reviewed evidence on oral fluid biomarkers in type 2 diabetic periodontitis, finding that active matrix metalloproteinase-8 and interleukin-1 beta showed consistent associations with disease markers, with multi-marker panels achieving higher diagnostic accuracy than single biomarkers, though standardization is needed before clinical use.
