Normal concentration of oral fluid procalcitonin and concentration in periodontitis

Objective. To study the procalcitonin concentration (PCC) in oral fluid of healthy persons and patients with periodontitis.
 Materials methods. The was studied cavity 42 periodontitis (main group) 25 sanitized (comparison group).
 Results. result medians comparison group by 1.658 times exceeded median main (р = 0,004315) made up for 114 (64; 144) pg/ml 189 (117; 485) pg/ml. No differences PCC between men women (p 0,052) were revealed. There not observed dependence content saliva on age examined (R 0.208).
 Conclusions. decrease can be induced bacterial load due to preliminary sanation dilution as a activation exudation salivation processes periodontium tissue inflammation.
