The difference in surface temperatures between the bottom of periodontal pockets and the attached gingiva adjacent to the openings of the pockets were determined both in monkeys with experimental marginal periodontitis, and clinically in patients with marginal periodontitis. For this purpose a custom-made, temperature-measuring device was developed which enabled immediate recording of temperature differences as well as periodontal pocket depths, bleeding, and attachment levels. The measurements were performed periodically. The differential temperature measurements were correlated to change in periodontal attachment over time. It was shown that differential periodontal temperatures are well correlated to change in periodontal attachment over time. It was furthermore concluded that differential periodontal temperature measurements have the potential of serving as a predictor of activity of marginal periodontitis. However, more extensive data are required to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the method.
在患有实验性边缘性牙周炎的猴子以及患有边缘性牙周炎的临床患者中，均测定了牙周袋底部与毗邻牙周袋开口处的附着龈之间的表面温度差异。为此，研发了一种定制的温度测量装置，该装置能够即时记录温度差异以及牙周袋深度、出血情况和附着水平。测量定期进行。将温差测量结果与牙周附着随时间的变化进行关联。结果表明，牙周温差与牙周附着随时间的变化具有良好的相关性。此外还得出结论，牙周温差测量有潜力作为边缘性牙周炎活动的预测指标。然而，需要更广泛的数据来评估该方法的敏感性和特异性。
