The fluid in and gingival tissue lining periodontal pockets were collected from male patients undergoing periodontal therapy. The collagenolytic activity of the crevicular fluid, and the ability of the gingiva in culture to degrade (a) an exogenous collagen substrate, and (b) endogenous collagen newly synthesized and labeled with H³-hydroxyproline, were related to the severity of gingival inflammation. Although inflammation appeared to have only a slight effect on gingival collagenolytic activity and on the turnover of collagen newly synthesized in culture, a marked effect was observed on the collagenase activity in the crevicular fluid. This study suggests that the collagen destructive activity of the periodontal lesion can be assessed by monitoring crevicular fluid collagenolytic activity.
