All patients had established marginal periodontitis. The pH of fluid flow from each gingival sulcus was detected colorimeirically by inserting filter paper strips containing the pH indicator for quantitative evaluation of fluid pH. The intracrevicular pH in diabetic patients showed lower figures as compared to non-diabetic subjects. The woresi values of pH were related to type 1 diabetics as compared to type U diabetics, yet the difference was not statistically significant. This might be attributed TO the higher glucose content of gingival exudate in controlled diabetes. The result of the present study could add a funher support 10 the earlier postulates that subgingival calculus might be a result of gingival inflammation.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Al-Azhar Journal of Medicine  Volume : 19  Issue Number : 7  Publishing Year : 1996 AH 1996 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, May 6, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email سليمان عودة ouda, soliman Investigator Doctorate souda@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  Alterations in pH of Gingival Fluid among different.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
