[Relation between alkaline phosphatase in gingival crevicular fluid of implant and the curing result].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relation between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and prognosis.


METHODS
We measured the alkaline phosphatase in gingival crevicular fluid among 56 cases of implant tooth which included 2 failed cases, 5 cases in bad oral hygiene and with gingivitis, compared with the normal group consisted of 10 healthy persons.


RESULTS
The difference of ALP level between normal group and success implant group is not significant, but between normal group and success with gingivitis group is significant(P < 0.05). The ALP level of 2 failed cases are highest (because of few failed cases, no statistics was done).


CONCLUSIONS
The ALP level in GCF is supposed to be an important index in evaluating the result of the implant.
