Q

This initial, proinflammatory: fluid was earlier considered to be ____, and on stimulation it changes to an exudate.

A

transudate

20
Q

Collection of gingival crevicular fluid is ____ and therefore this approach has been extensively explored in the search for potential diagnostic biomarkers of periodontal disease .

A

noninvasive

21
Q

As a result of interaction between the bacterial biofilm and the cells of the periodontal tissues, gingival crevicular fluid appears as an attractive oral diagnostic fluid due to its ease of collection and allowing for sampling of multiple sites within the oral cavity simultaneously.

TRUE OR FALSE

A

TRUE
