Evaluating the levels of salivary alkaline and acid phosphatase activities as biochemical markers for periodontal disease: A case series.

In our study, we could see a highly significant rise in salivary ALP levels in gingivitis ( P =0.002) and periodontitis patients ( P =0.001) as compared to the healthy controls [ Table 1a ], thereby indicating the pathological changes occurring in the underlying periodontal tissues.
