Analysis of gingival crevicular fluid with mass spectrometry

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers

Material and Method: Thirty patients were allocated into 3 groups: 10 were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) only; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive local metronidazole; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive systemic metronidazole. Periodontal clinical parameters including plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and relative attachment level were r...

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Immunoglobulins in Smokers with Chronic Periodontitis

Tobacco smoking is regarded as one of the most significant risk factors in the development and progression of periodontal disease. Studies have shown an altered host antibody response to antigenic challenge in smokers with periodontitis. The study was undertaken to estimate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) immunoglobulin G,A,M (IgA, IgG and IgM) levels in smokers and non smoker with periodon...

Comparison of Interleukin-1β Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid and Its Relationship with Clinical Indexes

OBJECTIVE Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is one of the most important cytokines which seems to have an important role in the inflammatory process in gingival and peri-implant tissues. The aim of this split-mouth study was to investigate the relationship between the concentration of IL-1β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and clinical parameters such as plaque i...

The Effect of Tobacco Smoking on Gingival Crevicular Fluid Volume

OBJECTIVES The negative effects of smoking on periodontal health are well known. But the mechanism is not clear yet. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of smoking on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume. METHODS The study included 26 age and gender matched periodontally healthy males. Half of the participants were smokers and the others were non-smokers. After period...
