Background: The present study aims to determine the relationship between thelevelof periodontalpocketdepth with the weight of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)using an analytical balance. Material and Methods: This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The level of periodontal pocket depth was analyzed by probing. Twenty-seven subjects were divided into three groups, namely, group 1 (with normal pocket depth: 0–3.5 mm), group 2 (pocket depth of 3.6–5.5 mm), and group 3 (pocket depth of more than 5.5 mm). GCF sampling was conducted bythe infraclavicular method using paper points and its weight measurement wit han analytical balance. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance followed by post hoc Tukey test to determine the comparison of GCF’s weight between groups. The correlation was determined using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The average of GCF’s weight obtained respectivelyineachgroupwas 0.352 ± 0.09 mcg, 0.598 ± 0.10 mcg,and 0.899 ± 0.06 mcg. There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) with the highest GCF’s weight was found in the pocket depth group >5.5 mm. The Pearsoncorrelationtestshowed that there was a positive correlation between the depth of the periodontal pocketandthe weight of GCF. Conclusion: The level of periodontal pocket depthis related to the weight of GCF.
Key words: gingival crevicular fluid, inflammation, periodontal pocket. |
