The activity of some glycosidases, trypsin-like proteinases, peroxidase, inhibitors of
beta-glucuronidase
and trypsin-like proteinases, as well as the amount of thiocyanates were studied in mixed saliva (MS),
dental deposit
(DD) and gums (G) of patients with inflammation of the periodontium. In periodontitis the activity of
beta-glucuronidase
increases fourfold and that of beta-galactosidase doubles in the G; the activity of
beta-glucuronidase
and its inhibitors increases, the activity of proteinases diminishes, and the antitryptic activity increases in MS, the activity of peroxidase and the amount of thiocyanates change in this case. Along with the peroxidase-H2O2-thiocyanates system, the inhibitors of
beta-glucuronidase
and trypsin-like proteinases possess properties of unspecific protection, preventing destruction of the periodontal tissues by glycosides and proteinases of microbial and animal origin.
