In physiological and pathological conditions, the pH of the crevicular fluid may play a significant role on the structure and function of the gingival crevice. The pH of human crevicular fluid was determined by a new microanalytical technique. The fluid was collected in 32 sites (19 patients) with capillary tubes. The tip of a double barreled, neutral carrier based microelectrode, highly selective for H+ ions was introduced directly into the capillary tubes containing either the samples or the reference solutions. In each sampling site, the [gingival index] and the crevicular fluid volume were recorded and correlated with the pH. As the inflammation increased, pH elevated from 6.90 to as much as 8.66. These values were measured at 20.degree. C in the absence of CO2. Whether this increase is due to the bacterial flora or to any metabolic activity in the crevice area is not clear at the moment.
