Data from a targeted proteomics approach to discover biomarkers in saliva for the clinical diagnosis of periodontitis

Abstract

This study focused on the search for new biomarkers based on liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring (LC-MRM) proteomics profiling of whole saliva from patients with periodontitis compared to healthy subjects. The LC-MRM profiling approach is a new and innovative method that has already been validated for the absolute and multiplexed quantification of biomarkers in several diseases. The dataset for this study was produced using LC-MRM to monitor protein levels in a multiplex assay, it provides clinical information on salivary biomarkers of periodontitis. The data presented here is an extension of our recently published research article (Mertens et al., 2017) [1].
