Abstract
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 regions of the gingiva. A meaningful significant difference was seen found in intermediate part and the outer layer of the gingiva in Group 3. Other gingival biopsies were performed on a human body donation specimen to examine CD-31 positive endothelial cells of blood vessels by an immnohistochemical method. Our results suggest that the periodontal probing depth reflect the blood vessel organization of human gingival tissue.
