1. Ninety-five cases, selected at random, were studied to determine whether alterations occurred in either finger or gingival blood glucose concentrations in periodontal disease.
2. The group was classified first according to bone type or speed of alveolar destruction, then, according to the relative amount of bone disintegration, and finally, according to the amount of bleeding produced by the incision.
3. All of the finger and gingival glucose values had percentage differences between them too close to the limits of error of the technique to be significant.
4. The study reveals that there probably is no alteration in glucose concentration if the method utilized is a tenable one.
