Abstract
A B S TR A C T Serum alkaline phosphatase enzymemeasurementsareused as a diagnostic assay for chronic periodontitis.The present study was carried out to compare the serum total alkaline phosphatase level among healthy individuals and chronic periodontitis patientsin Tamilnadu and evaluate racial behavior in enzyme level.Serum samples were obtained from 31healthy individuals and 36 chronic periodontitis patients. The serumwas thenassayed for total alkaline activity (ALP) level using a fully automated analyzer.The data were tabulated and statistically analysed.Comparison of the total alkaline phosphatase activity between the healthy and chronic periodontitis groups showed an increase in total alkaline phosphatase activity among chronic periodontitis.The results were similar to other studies suggestive of using serum alkaline phosphatase measurement as a reliable assay for chronic periodontitis and there is no racial or ethnic differences.
