Abstract

Aim: This scoping review aims to explore evidence regarding the expression of calprotectin and its constituent homodimers in periodontal health and disease and to evaluate their potential role as biomarkers of periodontal diseases. Methodology: Prominent databases such as PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), PubMed Central, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched from January 1998 to May 2022 to collect evidence regarding the expression of calprotectin in periodontal health and disease and the potential use of this heterodimer and its constituent homodimers as biomarkers of periodontal diseases. Results: Cross-sectional studies have reported that calprotectin levels in gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, and serum are elevated in periodontal diseases than in health. It was found that calprotectin levels in oral fluids increased during the early stages of experimental gingivitis and may predict degrees of future periodontal breakdown. Experimental evidence also points out that calprotectin and its constituent homodimers in oral fluids may mirror the degree of periodontal inflammation and predict therapeutic response and disease susceptibility. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this scoping review, it can be concluded that calprotectin and its constituent homodimers have an altered expression pattern in periodontal diseases, and calprotectin in gingival crevicular fluid or saliva may be a promising biomarker of periodontal inflammation and granulocyte activity. Further, longitudinal studies are required to understand the precise role of constituent proteins of calprotectin—S100A8 and S100A9 during periodontal inflammation. Clinical significance: The diagnosis and management of periodontal diseases can be enhanced by identifying and validating a biomarker or panel that can detect disease susceptibility, early disease activity, and therapeutic response. This review elaborates on the potential of calprotectin and its subfractions as biomarkers of periodontal inflammation.
