Histopathological and Ultrastructural Investigation of Gingival Tissue from Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periodontitis are infections that may cause systemic consequences. Due to that it is important to make an accurate histopathologic diagnosis as soon as possible. The aim of this study was to determine the main changes from the gingival mucosa biopsy taken from generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) patients by light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results were compared to those from healthy controls. GCP subjects important epithelium and subepitelial lesions, PMN infiltrates and bacteria were visualized. Conclusion: in GCP subjects bacterial infection is associated with important gingival mucosa lesions, that involve all the layer of the epithelium and connective tissue.

Background and Aim: Considering the critical role of inflammatory responses in periodontal disease, knowledge about the immune system and cytokines seems nec-essary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of IL-23 and IL-17 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with chronic and aggressive periodontitis, before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Materials and Methods:...
