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 ...

AIM Melanin pigmentation of the gingiva occurs in all ethnicities. Excessive pigmentation is an esthetic concern that has increased awareness about de pigmentation procedures. The purpose of the present study was to correlate skin color and gender with intensity and distribution of gingival melanin pigmentation in a group of South Indians. METHODS 200 male and female non smoking healthy subje...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the differential diagnosis when keratinized squamous cells are found in a brain aspirate. STUDY DESIGN Twenty cases of brain aspirates with keratinized squamous cells were retrieved (1982-2001). Diagnoses included craniopharyngioma (CP) (n = 11), metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 5), epidermoid cyst (EC) (n = 3) and Rathke cleft cyst (RCC) (n = 1). Aspirates w...

The gingiva surrounds each tooth and comprises the free gingival(gingival margin), attached gingiva and gingival sulcus. The attached gingiva is firmly attached to the underlying periosteum of the alveolar bone. It is continuous with the alveolar (or oral) mucosa and is demarcated from it by the muco-gingival junction. The free (or marginal) gingiva is that found coronal (ie towards the crown) ...

This study was undertaken to examine the levels of insoluble immune complexes in healthy and inflamed gingiva by measuring citrate buffer-elutable IgG. After establishment a clinically healthy gingiva by continuous toothbrushing for 6 weeks, the experimental gingivitis was induced by placement of silk floss ligature to accelerate plaque formation for 1 week, 1 and 3 months. The excised gingiva ...
