,DEFENSE MECHANISMS OF GINGIVA
• The amount of GCF collected on a paper strip can be evaluated in a variety of ways
• An electronic method has been devised for measuring the fluid collected on a “blotter”
(Periopaper) with the use of an electronic transducer (Periotron, Harco Electronics, Winn
Manitoba, Canada)
• Composition
• The components of GCF can be characterized according to individual
proteins
specific antibodies
antigens
enzymes of several specificities
• The GCF also contains cellular elements.
