Abstract
A sensitive method is described for detection of C3 cleavage in gingival fluid taken from sites of both normal and inflamed gingiva. Preliminary data suggest a direct relationship between C3 conversion and the presence of periodontal disease.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
