Evidence has been accumulated that the amount and make-up of the fluid changes along the clinical situation. Therefore, the author made an overview of the latest studies relating to gingival fluid and its clinical significance in this paper. The clinical significance of gingival fluid can be summarized as follows. 1. Defense against periodontal tissues 1) Washes bacillus and remaining food material out of the gingival sulcus (flows them out); 2) Possesses antimicrobial properties (leukocytes, gamma globulin, lysozyme, etc.); 3) Improves adhesion of the epithelial attachment to the tooth; 2. Destruction of periodontal tissues 1) Supplies the medium (protein, calcium) which makes bacterial growth possible; 2) Contributes to the formation of dental plaque and calculus; Based on these facts, the measurement and analysis of gingival fluid appears to be useful in early and effective evaluation of the internal condition of tissues in periodontal disease. It would be extremely effective in motivating patients.}, pages = {273--280}, title = {歯周病における歯肉溝滲出液について}, volume = {12}, year = {1986} }
