How can you use “gingival” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Gingivitis was determined by whether a site bled within 30 sec of gentle probing, BOP [ 26 27 ] and pocket depth by measuring the distance (mm) from the free gingival margin to the base of the sulcus or pocket.
Streptococcus mutans in which DCP is inactive do not initiate growth at below pH 6.5 and make glycerol LTA without D-alanine [ 14 ] . In the DCP active strains, soluble D-Alanyl LTA is extruded into culture fluid in vitro [ 16 17 ] or plaque in vivo [ 18 ] . The D-alanyl esters are stable at pH 6.0 at 37°C, but hydrolyze to free D-alanine and LTA with a half-life of 3.9 h at pH 8.0 [ 19 ] . Healthy gingival sulci have a pH of 6.5 - 7.5 and inflamed sulci a pH of 7.5-8.
A multiple linear regression procedure was utilized to examine the relationship of caries (DMFT) with age, F score, and measures of gingival health obtained in this study: PL, BOP, and PD.
The long-term treatment of patients with either CsA or TAC results in side effects such as nephrotoxicity, hypertension, and gingival hyperplasia [ 1 2 ] . Sirolimus (SRL) a new immunosuppressive agent is structurally similar to TAC binds to same binding protein FKBP, but its mechanism of action is different [ 3 ] . Both clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that SRL when used either with CsA or alone is associated with side effects such as hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia and nephrotoxicity [ 4 5 6 7 ] . Since SRL and TAC have affinity for the same binding site, it was thought to be ineffective when used together.
In both settings α-SMA levels were reduced compared to controls grown on noncoated tissue culture plastic or without ascorbic acid (see similar results in [ 47 ] ). Taken together these results suggest that the presence of collagen and the stressed to relaxed state transition of the ECM alters or dominates TGFβ1 signal transduction (see also [ 25 ] ). The corresponding reduction in α-SMA is in agreement with recent in vivo data on splintered vs. unsplintered rat wounds [ 48 ] , but differs from in vitro results on human gingival fibroblasts [ 49 ] .
