Presence of Aspartate Aminotransferase in Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid with and without Mucositis.

Background: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme commonly found in various body fluids and tissues, including peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF). Its presence and activity in PICF have been implicated in inflammatory conditions such as mucositis around dental implants.

Materials And Methods: This study aimed to compare the levels of AST in PICF collected from sites with mucositis (group A) and healthy sites (group B).
