Crevicular temperature rises stimulated by plaque formation.

T Maeda, E El Ghamrawy, H Kroone

    Journal of Oral Rehabilitation
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    New dental plaque formation correlates with increased gum pocket temperature. Temperatures in the lower jaw (mandible) were consistently higher than in the upper jaw (maxillae).

    Area of Science:

    • Oral biology
    • Dental research
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Gum pocket (crevicular) temperature is a potential indicator of oral health.
    • Understanding temperature variations can offer insights into early dental issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between plaque formation and crevicular temperature.
    • To compare crevicular temperatures between the mandible and maxillae.

    Main Methods:

    • Thermo-electric temperature recordings were taken in the vestibular and proximal crevices of 59 teeth from 19 subjects.
    • Data collection focused on identifying temperature changes associated with new plaque development.

    Main Results:

    • A rise in crevicular temperature was observed following the formation of new dental plaque.

  • Both normal and abnormal crevicular temperatures were found to be higher in the mandible compared to the maxillae.

    • Conclusions:

    • Crevicular temperature changes may serve as an early marker for plaque-induced oral conditions.
    • Mandibular teeth exhibit higher baseline and abnormal crevicular temperatures than maxillary teeth, suggesting localized physiological differences.
