This study uses a fully remote design with a non-invasive approach to assess oral health. Evaluating the effects of the social determinants of health is crucial to understanding the non-medical factors that may influence oral health outcomes, especially for marginalized communities affected by health disparities. This study utilized a cross-sectional design with 52 healthy adult participants across the United States. Participants provided saliva samples on three days and completed self-reported questionnaires. Biomarkers examined in this study included salivary IL-1β, IL-6, C-Reactive Protein, IgG, MMP-8, and transferrin concentrations. Key results of this study showed that MMP-8 had the strongest associations with self-reported teeth and gum health with higher concentrations associated with worse health, and IL-1β, IgG, and transferrin showed similar moderate associations. There were more significant associations between the SDOH and the self-reported oral health measures than the biomarker concentrations. Perceived stress, everyday discrimination, and air quality were statistically significantly associated with self-reported oral health. Education was statistically significant with self-reported teeth problems. IL-6 was significantly associated with neighborhood deprivation.
