Example sentences for: gingival

How can you use “gingival” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • 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.

  • The aim of this study was therefore to determine whether elevated antibody responders to D-alanyl LTA show a association of DMFT with fluoride exposure and gingival health not apparent in low responders.

  • 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 ] .

  • About 30% of young adults have serum IgG antibodies that precipitate with D-alanyl LTA, but not with D-alanine-free LTA [ 17 21 ] . It is likely that plaques induce these IgG antibodies from gingival sulci that contain more acid-tolerant bacteria.

  • Because caries experience associated with fluoride and gingival health in high responders, poor gingival health should increase the number of decayed teeth (DT) more than in low responders.
