The reasons for the non-linearity of the standard curve for the calcium-cresolphthalein complexone reaction have been investigated. Calcium forms both 1:1 and 2:1 complexes with cresolphthalein complexone; at low calcium concentrations the 1:1 complex predominates and causes non-linearity. At high

Saline aspirates have been commonly used in the biochemical investigations of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology. However, due to presence of adhesions in the diseased temporomandibular joint, full equilibration between the injected saline and the synovial fluid may not be achieved
