Uric acid contributes approximately 70-85% antioxidative capacity of saliva of healthy as well as periodontally compromised individuals. Aim: Purpose of this study was to estimate and compare the salivary uric acid level of healthy individuals and that of smokers and non-smokers with periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from 30 subjects divided into three groups (10 healthy without periodontitis; 10 smokers with periodontitis, and 10 non-smokers with periodontitis) by employing exclusion criteria. The salivary uric acid level was measured by the enzymatic method. All values were reported as mean and standard deviations.
