[Intrinsic potential of the gingival interdental epithelium and its "therapeutic" induction using brushing.

Abstract:
Toothbrushing technique may represent an important tool to improve gingival keratinization. Our experience evidenced a close relationship between this endoral therapy and interdental epithelial recovery of gingiva, after two months of treatment. Mechanical or microenvironmental stimuli and genetically determined potentialities are the main factors involved in this clinical-therapeutical recovery to modulate structural epithelial behaviour.
