概要	The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between salivary lactate dehydrogenase (LD) levels, assessed using a test kit, and the community periodontal index (CPI) and to determine the feasibility and reliability of the test kit for screening periodontal disease in adults. The study included 205 patients (58.5% female, median and 25-75 percentiles of age 55.0, 46.0-66.0 years) who visited two university hospitals and one university clinic in Japan. The median salivary LD level for a gingival score = 1 was significantly higher than that for gingival score = 0, and the optimal cutoff value for the salivary LD level was 4.0, with a sensitivity and specificity of ≥ 0.62. Our results suggested that a salivary LD level ≥ 4.0 in adults may suggest the presence of periodontal disease, thereby emphasizing the kit`s utility as a screening tool.
