About
The aim of this clinical study was to determine the levels of ferritin, alkaline phosphatase and matrix metalloproteinase-8 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva samples were collected from 60 systemically healthy, non-smoker periodontitis (P group, n = 20), gingivitis (G group, n = 20) and periodontally healthy individuals (S group, n = 20) and all clinical parameters were recorded for all groups at baseline. GCF and serum samplings and clinical records were also repeated at 1st and 3rd months visitsfor only P group. Ferritin, MMP8, and ALP levels in samples were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
