Abstract
The amount and concentration of protein present in fluid obtained from individual healthy and inflamed gingival crevices have been examined. It was found that an artefactual hyperbolic relationship existed between protein concentration and fluid volume in fluid originating from healthy crevices, resulting in over‐estimation of protein content. In fluid originating from inflamed crevices, no statistically significant correlation existed between protein concentration and fluid volume, which is to be expected for an inflammatory exudate. The fluid dynamics of the crevicular region is therefore probably similar to that of the rest of the body.
