Salivary enzyme levels after scaling and interleukin-1 genotypes in Japanese patients with chronic periodontitis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Saliva has been used as a diagnostic fluid in medicine and dentistry. It is easy to collect using non-invasive methods. The intracellular enzymes present in saliva have been studied as markers of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the salivary enzyme levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) after scaling...
