摘要

Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is found in the gingival sulcus and originates from the fluid of the connective tissue underlying the gingival crevicular epithelium. Its flow is stimulated by a variety of end-products of dental plaque bacterial metabolics. The more ”severe the t bacteriai attack,the greater the GCF flow; reduction in the magnitude of this attack results in a reduction of the flow. The objective of this study is to record GCF by PeriotronTM 6000, and to correlate the clinical indices and Periotron scores. Twenty four subjects were rectruited in this study. They did not have any systemic disease and periodontal treatment in last six months. None of them took antibiotics in last two months. Periodontal condition of six sites was evaluated by clinical indices-plaque index,bleeding index, gingival index, probing depth, attachment level and calculus index on each subject. The GCF volume was recorded with Periotron TM 6000. The relationship between the clinical indices and Periotron scores was subjected to statistical analysis using correlation coefficient. There is a moderate to strong relationship between probing depth, gingival index, bleeding index and Periotron scores (r: 0.65-0.72, P ＜ 0.001). The results indicate tl1at the increasing severity of gingivitis/periodontitis measured by clinical indices positively correlates with the increasing Periotron. scores. Therefore the Periotron system could be used clinically to detect the degree of inflammation quickly and objectively.
