This study aims to assess the diagnostic potential of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) biomarkers, specifically 8-iso Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), in evaluating periodontal health and disease conditions.
Conducted as a single-blind, cross-sectional investigation, this study comprised 26 individuals categorized as periodontally healthy, 27 with gingivitis, and 27 diagnosed with periodontitis. The participant pool included individuals with various periodontal concerns who were referred to the Department of Periodontology Clinic at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University. The classification of periodontal health, gingivitis, and chronic periodontitis adhered to the 2018 criteria outlined by the European Federation of Periodontology
