Description
Abstract
We used scanning electron microscopy to
study the morphological surface patterns of cells that
cover the attached gingiva and intervestibular papilla of
the human oral gingival epithelium. Five patterns are
described on the basis of the overall appearance of
morphological surface markers: microvilli, parallel,
fingerprint, reticular and pitted. Statistical analyses
detected significant differences in the frequency of each
pattern in both regions of the oral gingival epithelium,
and showed the reticular and fingerprint types to
predominate. We propose that our description of the
different morphological surface types may be of use as a
standard for subsequent cytological studies and
characterizations of morphological alterations in
diseased gingiva.
