Correlation Between Gingival Crevicular Fluid Hemoglobin Content and Periodontal Clinical Parameters

Abstract

Hb was observed in more than 60% of GCF samples in BOP(-) gingival sulci in both periodontally stable and periodontal-management-required groups. These results suggest inspection of Hb derived from microbleeding in gingival sulci may serve as an index for preclinical diagnosis.
