摘要：

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microcirculation in healthy human gingiva. Forty-two adult volunteers with clinically healthy gingiva participated. The ages of this research sample ranged from 20 to 30 years. Periodontal conditions were evaluated and assessed by using the qualitative plaque index, gingival index, gingival bleeding index, tooth mobility, and laser Doppler flow-metry (LDF) on 12 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. The LDF data were recorded on the facial aspect of the free gingiva, interdental gingiva, attached gingiva, and alveolar mucosa of 12 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth, utilizing an acrylic stent to stabilize the probe. This technique was then modified to circumvent contamination by saliva and gingival exudate. Blood flow in the maxillary anterior gingiva differed significantly from that in the mandibular anterior gingiva in interdental gingiva, attached gingiva, and alveolar mucosa, at P < 0.01. The maxillary anterior gingiva, at each point on the stent, showed significant differences in the mean LDF, at P < 0.01. For the mandibular anterior gingiva, the difference was significant only in the alveolar mucosa region.
