“…The histologic appearance of our specitnens, as seen in the H.E.-stained series, was compatible with previous descriptions of healthy/stibclinically inflatned gingival specimens both with respect to the regional differences in epithelial histodifferentiation and to the presence of a connective dssue inflammatory infikratej either cluster-like or confluent, found subjacent to JE and apical part ofSE (15,17,27,46).…”

– In clinically healthy/subclinically inflamed biopsies of marginal gingiva, the immunohistochemical distribution of keratin proteins was studied in junctional (JE), sulcular (SE), oral gingival (OGE) and in a few samples of alveolar mucosal epithelium (AE) by means of various mouse monoclonal anti‐keratin antibodies in an indirect fluorescence technique. All regions stained in a nearly similar way with AE3 (keratins 1–8, all cells) and BE 14 (keratin 5, basal and supra/parabasal cells). AE8‐staining (keratin 13, supra/parabasal and spinous cells) was primarily confined to the stratified, nonkeratinized epithelia SE and AE, but also a variable part of JE and less frequently OGE were positive. The parakeratinized OGE was distinct in showing a homogeneous staining with AE2 (keratins 1/2, 10) and AE5 (keratin 3) throughout spinous cell layers. These antibodies did not stain JE and AE whereas SE stained in a scattered way with AE5 and sometimes also with AE2. The latter finding might indicate initial keratinization at molecular level. The JE was distinct in retaining basal characteristics throughout the epithelium with PKK2 (keratin 7, 16, 17, 19) and BE14 (keratin 5) although some initial suprabasal maturation, as observed with AE8, cannot be excluded. Differences in keratin staining of gingival epithelia and the AE was found with respect to AE 1 ‐reactivity (keratins 10, 14–16, 19) which was suprabasal in JE, SE and OGE but basal in AE.

“…This is also true for the gingiva around recently erupted permanent teeth (83,91). Gingival tissues in young adolescents that underwent several weeks of professional oral hygiene still presented with a lymphocyte-dominated defense-domain, although they were clinically healthy and, histologically, contained relatively few blood vessels (91). Thus, even in young adolescents, a leukocyte accumulation resembling the early lesion exists in the absence of vasculitis, that is, acute inflammation.…”

“…To the authors' knowledge, only one paper has provided a pathohistological description of equine periodontal disease (12). In contrast to human and canine dentistry, in which the histology of the healthy gingiva has been sufficiently described (13)(14)(15)(16)(17), allowing for the differentiation of pathological and nonpathological conditions, to date, no description of healthy equine gingival tissue exists.…”

The Equine Gingiva: A Histological Evaluation

et al. 2019

Equine periodontal disease in horses has long been recognized as a painful disease, leading to a poor condition. The disease is widespread and attracts growing attention in equine dental medicine. The understanding of the underlying etiological and pathological mechanisms of equine periodontal disease is necessary to develop effective prophylactic and treatment options. As a first step, a thorough description of the histological features of the healthy equine gingiva is required. Specimens were taken from six horses (3 mares, 3 geldings, age: 0.5-26 years). The animals were euthanized for reasons not related to this study. Heads were dissected and gingival specimens, including parts of the adjacent teeth, alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament, were obtained from several positions of the dentition. Histological sections were evaluated via light microscopy, with special attention to the structural components of the gingiva, i.e., the gingival sulcus, the epithelium, and the components of the lamina propria (LP). Although the equine gingiva showed the same structural components as described in humans and dogs, the equine junctional epithelium was adapted to the equine dental anatomy and attached to the equine-unique peripheral cementum. Leucocytic infiltrations (LI) of the LP, sulcular epithelium (SE) and junctional epithelium (JE) were frequently seen. The amount of LI was not associated with a macroscopically visual pathology (e.g., diastema or food entrapment) in the respective position. The gingival sulcus depth had an average depth of <1 mm.
