Introduction: Chronic periodontitis is a multifactorial disease resulting in the inflammation and destruction of the supporting structures. Early detection of periodontal changes, prognosis and efficacy of treatment have been monitored by Alkaline Phosphatase Levels (ALP) levels. Objective: This study was carried out to determine level of ALP in saliva and serum before and after periodontal therapy. Methods: This pretest posttest study included 22 patients with generalised chronic periodontitis (GCP). The patients received nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). Saliva and serum levels of ALP were measured at baseline and after two months of periodontal therapy. Results: Twenty-two patients of mean age 44 years were analysed. Participants had significantly better periodontal parameters after two months. Salivary ALP levels, which were high at baseline, decreased after periodontal treatment. A significant positive correlation (0.0001) was found between the salivary levels of ALP and periodontal inflammatory conditions. Gingival index was found directly proportional with salivary ALP level but not with serum ALP. Conclusion: Periodontal therapy lowered the levels of ALP saliva in GCP patients with high ALP levels. Biochemical analysis of enzymes found in saliva may help in patients’ evaluation to determine the control and progression of periodontal destruction and aid in a correct diagnosis, prognosis and, consequently, better treatment.

Visual inspection and gingival indices have been traditionally used for diagnosis of gingival inflammation. These methods are prone for subjective variability. Thus, the study is aimed at evaluating gingival inflammation quantitatively by using CIELab colour space value obtained from digital photographs. An experimental study was conducted with 27 patients each in group A (gingivitis) and group B (chronic periodontitis, CP). Preoperative and postoperative (1 month) photographs of maxillary anterior sextant were recorded to evaluate CIELab coordinate values. Simultaneously, clinical parameters such as bleeding on probing (BOP) and periodontal probing depth (PPD) along with indices such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and sulcus bleeding index (SBI) were evaluated before and after the nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Data was presented as the mean ± SD , and a paired t -test was used for the testing hypothesis with p < 0.05 considered as significant. Data analysis was carried out with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. A significant reduction ( p < 0.001 ) is seen in all the clinical parameters and indices before and after the intervention in chronic periodontitis patients. Similar results were seen in gingivitis patients ( p < 0.001 ) except for PPD. A significant ( p < 0.001 ) reduction in postoperative values of the a ∗ and b ∗ coordinates was seen in CP patients; whereas, only the a ∗ coordinate value reported a significant ( p < 0.001 ) reduction in the gingivitis group of patients. The Δ E of the gingivitis and chronic periodontitis groups was 2.25 and 2.96, respectively. Within the confinements of the study, estimating the gingival colour with the help of CIELab values taken via digital photographs can be an excellent valuable tool to assess the gingival colour as a sign of gingival inflammation.
