Gingival tissues in human cadavers were examined the blood vessel diameter in the depths of the gingival pockets such as three groups: gingiva adjacent to a sulcus of 2 mm (Group 1); gingiva adjacent to a 2-4-mm sulcus (Group 2); and gingiva adjacent to a sulcus of > 4 mm (Group 3). A meaningful significant difference was seen observed in gingival pocket side, intermediate and outer layer side ...
