The study involved 63 children with granulating periodontitis of permanent teeth, aged 12-1 and determined the activity of liver enzymes: arginase, cholinesterase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of serum. A marked increased activity of arginase and decrease in cholinesterase activity in case of chronic granulating apical periodontitis of permanent teeth and in case of the exacerbation of this pathological process have been revealed. It was also found a significant increase of ALT and AST parameters in case of the exacerbation of disease. The results obtained suggest that periodontal pathology affects the functional activity of the liver cells.
