[Determination of surface morphological changes during therapy of gingivitis]

Area of Science:

• Dental medicine
• Periodontology
• Morphometry

Context:

• Inflammatory gingival disease affects the anterior mandibular region.
• Therapeutic interventions aim to manage gum disease.
• Surface morphometric methods offer quantitative analysis of tissue changes.

Purpose:

• To evaluate changes in inflammatory gingival disease following therapy using surface morphometry.
• To correlate clinical variations between healthy and diseased gums with quantitative measurements.
• To interpret the relationship between gum contour, tartar, and plaque retention.

Summary:

• Surface morphometry was employed to assess changes in mandibular anterior gingival disease post-therapy.
• Comparative measurements distinguished healthy from diseased gum tissues.
• Gum contour analysis demonstrated a link to tartar accumulation and plaque-holding capacity.

Impact:

• Provides objective data for assessing therapeutic efficacy in gingival disease.
• Enhances understanding of the physiomorphological and pathomorphological states of the gum.
• Offers insights into the role of gum contour in disease progression and plaque retention.
