Periodontitis, characterized by inflammatory loss of tooth-supporting tissues associated with biofilm, is among the most prevalent chronic diseases globally, affecting approximately 50% of the adult population to a moderate extent and cases of severe periodontitis surpassing the one billion mark. Proteomics analyses of blood, serum, and oral fluids have provided valuable insights into the complex processes occurring in the inflamed periodontium. However, until now, proteome analyses have been primarily limited to small groups of diseased versus healthy individuals. The emergence of population-scale analysis of proteomic data offers opportunities to uncover disease-associated pathways, identify potential drug targets, and discover biomarkers. In this review, we will explore the applications of proteomics in population-based studies and discuss the advancements it brings to our understanding of periodontal inflammation. Additionally, we highlight the challenges posed by currently available data and offer perspectives for future applications in periodontal research. This review aims to explain the ongoing efforts in leveraging proteomics for elucidating the complexities of periodontal diseases and paving the way for clinical strategies.

Objectives: The anti-infective, predominantly antibacterial protection of the periodontium has been well-mapped in its various inflammatory diseases, especially in different clinical forms of gingivitis and periodontitis. In various inflammatory periodontal diseases, many immunocompetent cells and substances have been identified in periodontal structures, including the gingiva, which implement and ensure this anti-inflammatory response. There is ample evidence that in many clinical forms of gingivitis and periodontitis, these immunological-defensive reactions occur in the gingival tissue.

Chronic inflammatory diseases are a leading global health problem. In many of these diseases, the consistent presence of systemic low-grade inflammation induces tissue damage. This is true in conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and autoimmune disorders, where an overactive and uncontrolled host immune response is a major driver of immunopathology.

Periodontitis (PD) is a common inflammatory disease known to be closely associated with metabolic disorders, particularly hyperlipidemia. In the current study, we demonstrated that hypercholesterolemia is a predisposing factor in the development of PD. Logistic regression analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between PD and dyslipidemia.
