Summary
Surgical treatment for periodontal disease revealed significant inflammation and cellular changes in gum tissue. Lymphocytes and plasmocytes were prevalent, with acanthosis being the most common epithelial alteration observed post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Oral surgery
- Periodontology
- Pathological anatomy
Context:
- Study conducted at the Provincial Stomatological Clinic of Santiago de Cuba.
- Analysis of 71 patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
- Gum samples collected between September and November 1983.
Purpose:
- To analyze the intensity of inflammation and cellular composition in gum tissue post-surgery.
- To identify epithelial changes associated with periodontal surgical treatment.
- To correlate histological findings with surgical intervention.
Summary:
- Histopathological examination of gum samples revealed significant inflammatory cell infiltration, predominantly lymphocytes and plasmocytes.
- Acanthosis was identified as the most frequent epithelial change.
- Findings indicate specific cellular and epithelial responses to periodontal surgery.
Impact:
- Provides insights into the cellular and tissue-level effects of periodontal surgery.
- Contributes to understanding the histopathology of surgical sites in periodontology.
- Informs clinical practice and further research in periodontal disease management.
