Gingival crevicular fluid alkaline phosphatase activity as a non‐invasive biomarker of skeletal maturation

Abstract: As an adjunct to standard methods based upon radiographic parameters, the GCF ALP may be a candidate as a non-invasive clinical biomarker for the identification of the pubertal growth spurt in periodontally healthy subjects scheduled for orthodontic treatment.

“…The authors found the highest concentration at peak pubertal growth phase and lower at others (pre-and post-peak) pubertal growth phase [1,23]. They concluded that ALP total activity in GCF and salivary could be used as adjunct methods in identification of pubertal growth phase.…”

“…Identification of the growth phase, with particular regard to the onset of the pubertal growth phase, has major clinical implications when dealing with orthodontic treatment in growing subjects, especially when there are skeletal disharmonies [1,2]. In orthodontics, the classic method of assessing pubertal growth phase is through observation of skeletal maturity with the most common being the radiography-based, handwrist analysis, and cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) methods [3][4][5][6].…”

“…Part of the sample herein investigated was included in previous studies. 10,11 The subjects were scheduled for enrolment at their first clinical examination; subsequently, during a second visit 7 to 10 days prior to GCF collection, they underwent a session of professional supragingival and subgingival scaling, and also received repeated oral hygiene instructions. Moreover, over the days between professional scaling and GCF collection, the subjects were asked to rinse their mouths out twice a day with 0.012% chlorhexidine mouthwash, and were not allowed to take any anti-inflammatories or antibiotics.…”
