Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the protein patterns in gingival crevicular fluid relation to the isoelectic focusing protein patterns of GCF and to clinical evaluations. GCF was collected with filter paper from 105 subjecfs. The probing depth, the gingival index (LÖe & Silness) and the plaque index (Silness & LÖe) as clinical evaluations
The results follow:
1. The main isoelectic focusing protein patterns of GCF were between pH 5.5 and 7.5. In comparison, the GCF and the serum fron the same patients showed patterns to similer serum albumin.
2. Between of GCF pH 5.5 and 7.5 the protein patterns thaf ranged over 60% was pI 5.65, 6.45, 6.55, 6.75 and 7.00.
The frequencies of the ranges of protein patterns and clinical evaluation were comparcd by the X2 test. pI 5.65, 6.45, 6.55 and 6.75 and PD were significantl different. as were pI 6.45, 6.55 and 6.75 and GI. But each pI and PIl. were not significantly different.
