Abstract
Various methods of treatment are applied in the treatment of parodontal diseases; the evaluation of these procedures is made difficult through lack of a method allowing for the objective determination of therapeutic success or failure. Alkaline phosphatase activity in healthy parodontal tissue is known to differ greatly from the activity in diseased tissue. This difference in the enzymatic activity of the parodontal tissue has been lately applied as a criterion for the objective measurement of the result obtained with the different therapeutic procedures. This induced us to proceed with the determination of alkaline phasphatase prior to and after extracted microchemically from the collected tissue samples, quantitative determination was computed in King—Armstrong units. Treatment consisted of a isotonic preparation of vitamin C specially prepared for submucosal application.
