Case reports.Digital Access Wiley 2013 - ArticleCourts FJ, Boackle RJ, Fudenberg HH, Silverman MS.J Dent Res. 1977 Mar;56(3):327-31.Crevicular fluid was collected from patients with periodontitis by a capillary tube procedure. Complement component activities were determined by functional assay systems, with human complement, and partially purified human first complement component (C1) as controls. The complement-fixing properties of the dental plaque of each patient were also examined C1 activity in the crevicular fluid of all patients was approximately 1/8 of whole serum C1 and diminished rapidly with time after collection. There was no significant relationship between C1 concentration and crevicular fluid flow rate. Hemolytic activity of whole complement was also invariable detected when sufficient amounts (8 micronl) of crevicular fluid could be obtained. Dental plaque was found to fix C1. A role for crevicular complement in inflammatory periodontal disease is suggested.
