Periodontics
Answer: 4
The most prominent immunoglobulin in sulcular fluid is IgG.
Sulcular fluid is the fluid found in the space between the tooth and the
surrounding gingival tissue. It contains various immunoglobulins that contribute
to the local immune defense against oral pathogens. While IgA is the most common
immunoglobulin found in saliva, which is closely related to the oral cavity, the
most prominent immunoglobulin in sulcular fluid is actually IgG. IgG is the most
abundant antibody in the blood and can be found in various bodily fluids,
including sulcular fluid, where it provides protection against infections and
inflammation. IgE is associated with allergic reactions, IgM with early immune
responses, and IgA with mucosal surfaces
