Abstract :

The existence of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), a fluid that emerges between the surface of the tooth and the epithelial integument, has been recognized for over many years. The exact nature of the fluid, its origins and composition, has been the subject of controversy. This may be a result of variations in the amount and/or nature of the fluid produced under different clinical conditions and the use of a wide variety of sampling methods. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is a complex mixture of substances derived from serum, leukocytes, structural cells of the periodontium and oral bacteria. The substances present in gingival crevicular fluid possess a great potential for serving as indicators of periodontal disease. Therefore gingival crevicular fluid is treated as a window for noninvasive analysis of periodontitis, taking into account indicators and markers of connective tissue and bone destruction.
