Diagnostic accuracy of active matrix metalloproteinase‐8 <scp>point‐of‐care</scp> test for the discrimination of periodontal health status: Comparison of saliva and oral rinse samples

Abstract

A 30-second oral rinse with water omitting the prerinse provided the best accuracy to discriminate periodontal health and disease with an aMMP-8 POCT. This regimen seems promising for further studies in large representative populations to verify the current findings.
