Glycosaminoglycans in gingival crevicular fluid during experimental periodontitis in dogs.

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...

hcmv antibody titer in gingival crevicular fluid in chronic periodontitis

background and aims. despite available evidence for the role of herpes viruses in destructive periodontal diseases, no cause-and-effect relationship has been found to date. this study compared the titer of immunoglobulin g (igg), immunoglobulin m (igm) against human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) in gingival crevicular fluid between individuals with periodontitis and with healthy periodontium. material...

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...

Secretory microRNA-29 in Gingival Crevicular Fluid during Canine Retraction

Introduction: Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) has been widely investigated as a potential source of biomarkers for an individual’s oral and general health information. Various molecules presented in GCF were reported as potential biomarkers for orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Recently, secr...
