- GCF is a potential biomarker which can be a
perio diagnostic tool which will be non-invasive and
efficient. In this review article we will discuss in detail
about the role of GCF as a diagnostic aid, a potential
indicator tool for periodontitis and also various changes
associated with the markers in periodontitis. There are
many ways to assess the amount of GCF collected with
help of various quantitative and qualitative analysis. With
the advancement in technology, newer biochemical test
kits are being introduced in periodontics which utilizes
the gingival crevicular fluid for early diagnosis and
detection of periodontal diseases. Overall, GCF has
broadened our vision of periodontal pathogenesis.
