Evaluation by analyzing of protein components in gingival crevicular fluid.

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...

Hydroxyproline titers in gingival crevicular fluid.

Comparative volumetric and clinical evaluation of peri-implant sulcular fluid and gingival crevicular fluid

PURPOSE Peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) has a production mechanism similar to gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). However, limited research has been performed comparing their behavior in response to inflammation. Hence, the aim of the present study was to comparatively evaluate PISF and GCF volume with varying degrees of clinical inflammatory parameters. METHODS Screening of patients was cond...

The HPLC assay of concentration of azithromycin from two different manufacturers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)

Background: Azithromycin (AZM) is used in periodontal infections. The present study compared gingival crevicular fluid concentration of azithromycin of two pharmaceutical companies through the HPLC method. Methods: Two groups (n=15) of healthy volunteers participated in this study. The first group received an imported azithromycin (ImAZM) tablet (250 mg, PO) and the second group received an ...

Cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid of adolescents and young adults.

BACKGROUND/AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of the cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-4, and IL-8 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of adolescents and young adults. METHODS Twenty-five adolescents aged between 14 and 16 years (Group A) and 20 periodontally healthy young adults aged between 25 and 35 years (Group B) were selected from two private dental clin...
