Background: Increased levels of active neutrophil collagenase (MMP-8) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) are associated with progressive periodontitis. The measurement of this enzyme in GCF could facilitate diagnosis. However, assays with sufficient sensitivity to detect collagenase in whole-mouth GCF currently use radiolabeled substrates and require several days to complete. To provide more rapid analyses of collagenase activity that are better adapted to clinical studies, we developed and validated a novel assay (soluble biotinylated-collagen assay: SBA) based on chemiluminescent detection of biotinylated collagen digestion products.Methods: The concordance of the novel SBA assay with a radioactive collagen substrate assay was assessed by parallel analyses of enzyme from 35 neutrophil preparations and from 41 samples of GCF from periodontitis patients, followed by Pearson correlation analysis. To test whether the assay appropriately measured MMP-8 activity, enzyme activity was assessed after incubation with specific collagenase blockers. We examined the diagnostic utility of the SBA in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of 125 patients with adult periodontitis, 5 patients with early-onset: periodontitis, 1 edentulous patient, and in 32 control patients without periodontitis.Results: The assay detected 18-fold higher in severe periodontitis than in stable periodontitis and decreased to
