Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in gingival crevicular fluid as a measure of periodontal tissue destruction and effectiveness of therapy.
- Conducted on 38 healthy and 80 periodontitis sites, the research looks at the changes in PTM (periodontal tissue monitor) values and other periodontal parameters before and six months after treatment.
- Results show significant improvements in PTM values alongside clinical measurements (probing depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding on probing), confirming PTM values as a potential predictor for the success of periodontal regeneration therapy.
