Figure 1 Mouthrinse aMMP-8 point-of-care/chair-side assay.
Notes: Constituents (purified rinse water, cup, and syringe with filter) and lateral flow test cassette of aMMP-8 chair-side/point-of-care oral fluid immunoassay. Two lines (indicated by arrows) indicate increased, >25 mg/mL, MMP-8 in mouthrinse and elevated risk for periodontitis; even a thin second line indicate the risk (1, 2). One line indicates no risk (3) for periodontitis, the patient is under control, patient’s treatment and medication have been successful and/or is in good maintenance.
Abbreviations: MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; aMMP, active matrix metalloproteinase.
