Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of plaque infection an gingival units (1) with or without support of attached gingiva and (2) with different height of the attachment apparatus. 7 beagle dogs were used. Prior to the initiation of the study 4 different types of “dentogingival” units had been established in each dog by the use of excisional and grafting procedures, namely (I) normal non-operated free gingival units supported by a wide zone of attached gingiva and normal height of the attachment apparatus, (2) regenerated free gingival units supported by loosely attached alveolar mucosa and normal height of the attachment apparatus, (3) regenerated free gingival units supported by loosely attached alveolar mucosa and reduced height of the attachment apparatus and (4) regenerated free gingival units supported by a wide zone of attached gingiva and reduced height of the supporting apparatus. A baseline examination involved assessments of plaque, gingivitis, gingival exudate, probing depth, clinical attachment level, position of She “soft tissue margin” and width of attached gingiva. Following this examination 2 of the dogs were scheduled for biopsy and sacrificed. The remaining 5 dogs were for 40 days placed on a diet regimen which allowed plaque accumulation. The clinical examination was repealed and biopsies sampled at the end of this period. Following preparation the biopsy material was subjected to histometric and morphometric analysis. The results showed I hat the free gingiva which regenerated following surgical excision of the entire gingiva or following soft tissue grafting, was in most respects, clinically as well as histologically, similar to the “normal” free gingiva. The data obtained after 40 days of plaque accumulation did not reveal any differences between the various “dentogingival” units regarding size and apical extension of the infiltrated portion of the connective tissue. It was concluded that a free gingival unit which is supported by loosely attached alveolar mucosa is not more susceptible to inflammation than a free gingival unit which is supported by a wide zone of attached gingiva.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
