Abstract
Serum was analyzed for Zn in 51 patients of varying ages and with varying degrees of alveolar bone loss [periodontal disease] as recorded on roentgenograms. There was a reversed correlation between marginal alveolar bone loss and serum Zn levels. The observations are discussed in relation to the physiological functions of Zn.Keywords
