Popis: Objective: This study aims at evaluating the degree of protein carbonyl (PC) levels in serum, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva in patients who suffer from chronic periodontitis (CP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP). Materials and methods: A total of 110 individuals took part in the study. Of this number, 35 were CP patients, 43 GAP patients, and the remaining 32 were healthy controls. Measurements regarding the serum, saliva and GCF PC levels were obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in serum PC levels between the groups (P > 0.05). In terms of salivary levels, the CP group demonstrated a significantly higher level (P 0.05).The GCF PC level in the CP group had a significantly higher level of concentration compared to the other groups (P
