Biomarkers in Gingival Crevicular Fluid: Review of Literature

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...

Biomarkers of Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Gingival Crevicular Fluid: A Systematic Review.

BACKGROUND The analysis of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) may be an acceptable way to examine the ongoing biochemical processes associated with bone turnover during orthodontic tooth movement. If it is possible to biologically monitor and predict the outcome of orthodontic forces, then the management of appliances could be based on individual tissue responses, and the effectiveness of the trea...

Oral Fluid-Based Biomarkers in Periodontal Disease – Part 2. Gingival Crevicular Fluid

Periodontal diagnosis and treatment plan are based on the assessment of probing depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, suppuration, furcation involvement, mobility, and radiographic findings. However, these clinical parameters are not sufficiently sensitive and specific to identify disease activity in individual sites or to predict future attachment...

Biomarkers of periodontal tissue in gingival crevicular fluid during orthodontic movements: An overview

Introduction Only in recent times has the importance of gingival crevicular fluid in periodontal health and in particular in maintaining the integrity of periodontium during application of orthodontic forces been enhanced. The aim of this short review is to evaluate the importance of substances as valid biomarkers of periodontal health during orthodontic movements. Conclusion The conclusion is ...
