[Formation of plasma cell infiltrates in gingiva of patients with chronic apical periodontitis].

The structure of leukocyte infiltrates in gingiva of 80 patients of various ages and gender with chronic apical periodontitis was studied using light microscopy with the application of monoclonal antibodies detecting CD38 antigen. Gingival tissues of practically of all the patients with periodontitis contained 2 types of leukocyte infiltrates: infiltrates with the low plasma cell content and high numbers of neutrophils and structures with high number of plasmocytes and low concentration of neutrophilic granulocytes. Within the gingival epithelium in patients with chronic apical periodontitis CD38 + cells were absent. The histogenesis of gingival leukocyte infiltrates in chronic apical periodontitis is discussed with the special emphasis on the role of plasma cells in the development of the pathological process.

[Gingival tissues age- and gender-specific peculiarities in healthy conditions and in cases of chronic apical periodontitis].

By light microscopy there was studied gingival tissues structure depending upon age and gender in 96 relatively healthy persons and 80 patients with chronic apical periodontitis. It was disclosed that in gingival mucosa of patients with chronic apical periodontitis the interstitial space volumetric density and numerical density of tissue leucocytes increased in the first place due to neutrophils. Between the healthy men and women there was no significant difference in structural organization of the gum as well as between the patients of different gender. The only sign was that in healthy men and women with age progressing only lymphatic vessels area decreased on gingival mucosa microscopic section. In patients with chronic apical periodontitis both blood and lymphatic vessels were involved through decrease of relative capillary density.

[Adjusting gingival tissues morphology after dental implantation with fibrin use].

In gingival tissues of 62 patients after dental implantation of traditional type and with the use of thrombocyte rich fibrin preparation (TRFP) microcirculation and leucocytal infiltration were studied. It was disclosed that in all terms after titanium screw dental implant setting lymphostasis and leucocytal infiltration were seen as signs of active inflammatory process in gingival tissues. 3 months later after implants setting with the use of TRFP the lymphatic vessels status was normalized, the degree of leucocytal infiltration was reduced; when implantation was made without use of fibrin technologies in gingival tissues more leucocytes were found and lymphatic bed components were remained dilated. Besides fibrin preparation use in the process of dental implantation promoted quicker and stronger implant fixation, but granulomatous inflammatory process could develop and amount of eosinophils in gingival tissues could also increased.
