Abstract
Biomarkers of periodontal disease activity may be obtained from potent ial proteolytic and hydrolytic enzymes of inflammatory cell origin. St udies that have sought to correlate these enzymes with periodontal dis ease activity are reviewed with special consideration given to collage nases, cysteine, aspartate and serine proteinases, beta-glucuronidase, arylsulphate, alkaline and acid phosphatases, myeloperoxidase, lysozy me and lactoferrin.
