Abstract

The level of interleukin 1 in gingival fluid is determined in 17 volunteers with healthy gingiva and in 58 patients with gingivitis of different severity. Continously increased levels of local IL 1 are found in connection with increased plaque accumulation in the dentogingival sites and with exacerbating gingival inflammation. The relevance of IL 1 in gingival fluid as a sensitive indicator of plaque-associated gingivitis is discussed.
