Abstract : - 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.
