| Abstract | ||
| Background: Histochemical and cytochemical techniques of peroxidase enzyme activity was determined semiquantitatively the severity of inflammation in periodontal lesions. Aim: To determine the severity of inflammation in gingival tissues associated with paradontal abscess by histochemical method to determine peroxidase enzyme activity. Patients and Method: six biopsies and six blood smears, four with paradontal abscess and two from healthy gingival. Histochemical method for peroxidase activity using the technique described by Deimann et al., (1991) was used. Results: In tissue with acute inflammation the sections clearly showed intense and widely distributed enzyme activity both in the epithelium and subepithelial connective tissues, while a discrete low activity was obtained in sections taken from healthy gingiva. Conclusion: It is concluded that the intensity of peroxidase activity is much increased in acute inflammation of the gingiva, (paradontal abscess), irrespective of its activity in PMNs of blood as demonstrated in blood smears. | ||
