Macrophage activity is associated with gingival inflammation: Soluble CD163 in an experimental gingivitis study.

CONCLUSIONS: Macrophage activity is associated with gingival inflammation and can be detected at early stages of gingivitis. However, while in most participants a "linear" trajectory of sCD163 over the development of gingival inflammation was observed, among few individuals an exacerbated increase of sCD163 levels in GCF was noticed particularly at the end of the Induction Phase.
