What symptom is gingivitis?
Gingival texture: due to the inflammatory infiltration in connective tissue and the disappearance of collagen fibers, the original dense gingival becomes soft and fragile, lacking elasticity. Some chronic inflammation, gingival surface epithelial hyperplasia thickening, collagen fiber hyperplasia, so that the gingival surface appears hard hypertrophy, but there is inflammation in the inner wall of periodontal pocket, probing bleeding.
Periodontal pocket depth: when the periodontal tissue is healthy, the depth of periodontal pocket is generally not more than 2-3mm. When the gingival has inflammatory swelling or hyperplasia, the gingival sulcus can be deepened by more than 3mm to form a pseudo periodontal pocket.
Gingival shape: normal gingiva should be thin and close to the tooth surface. When suffering from gingivitis, due to tissue edema, the gingival margin becomes thicker and no longer close to the tooth surface, and the gingival papilla becomes blunt and hypertrophy and no longer close to the tooth surface. In the patients with inflammation and exudation as the main lesions, the gingiva is soft and hypertrophic, the surface is bright, and the gingival margin is sometimes erosive and exudative; In cases with fibrous proliferation, the gingiva is tough and hypertrophic, sometimes nodular and covers part of the tooth surface.
