This study aimed to examine the indicators of gum epithelial cell proliferation in patients with chronic periodontitis against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The clinical, endoscopic, immunohistological and morphological studies revealed that diseases affecting the esophagus facilitate the development and the progression of periodontal issues. Enhanced apoptosis due to insufficient proliferation of periodontal tissues contributes to the progression of inflammatory and destructive changes in the tissues, against the background of reduced regeneration due to a decrease in the Ki-67 immunopositive cells.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
