Disaccharide analysis of chondroitin sulfate in peri-implant sulcus fluid from dental implants

Eur J Oral Sci. 1996 Apr;104(2 ( Pt 1)):141-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0722.1996.tb00059.x.

Abstract

We collected peri-implant sulcus fluid by capillary tubes from sites around titanium osseointegrated implants and determined the chondroitin sulfate released into the peri-implant sulcus fluid by high-performance liquid chromatography. Chondroitin sulfate was found in all peri-implant sulcus fluid samples, and its content was similar to that in gingival crevicular fluid obtained around natural teeth. The predominant unsaturated disaccharide isomer was delta Di-0S, followed by delta Di-4S. Delta Di-6S was present in trace amounts. The amount of delta Di-0S was greater in peri-implant sulcus fluid than in gingival crevicular fluid. Assaying chondroitin sulfate disaccharides in peri-implant sulcus fluid may be an effective method of monitoring the peri-implant condition of dental implants.
