Abstract:The effect of chronic inflammation on the turnover of the gingival epithelium of the mouse was autoradiographically studied, using the H3-thymidine. Inflammation was artifically induced by applying croton oil to the site.No differrnce was observed in the migration pattern of the gingival epithelial cell, the cell migration being passive and being almost identical to that in normal. In epithelial attachement, the cell migration was observed from the stratum germinativum toward enamel, margin and/or stratum corn… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
