Abstract (en)

Objective> The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence of periodontal diseases and oral hygiene status among 25-44-year-olds in Kaunas city and to study the secretory function of peripheral venous blood neutrophilic leukocytes (NL) exposed to various antigens in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. Material and methods. The prevalence of periodontal diseases (according to CPITN), oral hygiene status (according to OHI-S index) was examined in 420 subjects. Secretory function of peripheral venous blood neutrophilic leukocytes (NL) in 112 subjects was determined. Secretory function of NL affected by antigens, such as opsonized zymosane and anatoxine S. aureus was investigated by lysozyme (LZ) activity in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis who were internal diseases free. Lysozyme activity was analyzed by the spectrophotometric method, supplemented with Micrococcus luteus 2665. [...].
