How can you use “gingival” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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 ] .
Increased exposure to fluoridated water, and dentrifices associated with good gingival health, may result in fluoride inhibiting enamel remineralization at the acidic plaque pH likely present in high responders.
The clinicians agreed strongly with respect to all measurements (correlation coefficients, r > 0.85; p < 0.001) except gingival bleeding index, for which a weaker correlation was noted (r = 0.60, p < 0.001).
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.
An increase in pocket depth is caused by periodontopathic bacteria that associate with an alkaline environment in the sulci over many years [ 20 ] and a microbiota that is neither acidic nor acid-tolerant [ 10 ] . The coefficient of DMFT association with PD in low responders therefore differed significantly from high responders within whom F score and gingival health were stronger covariates.
