ABSTRACT:
The subject invention relates to methods and kits for detecting or evaluating risk of presently or later developing active periodontitis, comprising: (a) collecting gingival crevicular fluid; (b) measuring the amount in the gingival crevicular fluid of IgA; (c) measuring the amount in the gingival crevicular fluid of a marker for polymorphonuclear leukocytes; (d) comparing a ratio of the amounts obtained from steps (b) and (c) to a standard.
