title: [The behavior of unspecific acid phosphatase in the human gingiva before and after the effect of aminofluorides].
abstract: The authors determined the activity of the unspecific acid phosphatase in dental papillae excised from healthy subjects and individuals afflicted with periodontitis before and after the action of Elmex fluid. Clinically and histologically, the authors observed a regression of the inflammation. The possible causes are discussed. The total activity of acid phosphatase in the interdental papilla showed no significant changes, but the various tissue layers behaved differently. No permanent lesion will result from the wetting of the papillary and marginal gingiva which occurs during topical application of Elmex fluid to the surfaces of teeth.
