OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare four methods for gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 detection. METHODS: Matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels from 20 GCF samples from two periodontally healthy subjects, 18 samples from two patients with gingivitis and 45 samples from six patients with moderate to severe periodontitis, altogether 83 samples, were analysed using (1) a timeresolved immunofluorometric assay (IFMA), (2) an MMP- 8 specific chair-side dip-stick test, (3) a dentoAnalyzer device and (4) the Amersham ELISA kit. Western immunoblot using same monoclonal anti-MMP-8 as in IFMA and dentoAnalyzer was used to identify molecular forms of MMP-8 in GCFs. RESULTS: Correlation between IFMA a...
