“…After routine scaling and root planing of teeth, there was no signifi cant change in location of the mucogingival junction for either the midline or the interproximal areas evalu ated. This finding agrees with the observations of Smith 25,26 and Karring 27,28 that the particular type of underlying connective tissue genetically determines the specificity of the overlying mucosa. In routine scaling and root planing, the subepithelial connective tissue is left intact and no change in the location of the mucogin gival junction should be anticipated.…”

ODONT. ‡ THE POSITIONAL CHANGES that may occur in the gingiva following scaling, root planing, and oral hy giene (such as recession, reattachment, and variations in gingival width, pocket depth, and location of the mucogingival junction) have not been studied system atically. However, it is generally assumed that some gingival recession and/or some change in crevice or pocket depth may occur after scaling and root planing and that there is no change in the position of the mucogingival junction. The location of the free gingival margin, the crevice depth, and the position of the mucogingival junction can be determined accurately with the cementoenamel junction as a fixed reference point. 1-5 Thus, it is possible to evaluate clinically any biometric changes in the relationships between these structures before and after scaling, root planing and oral hygiene. Recent reports indicate a tendency for the width of the attached gingiva to increase with age. 6,7 Teeth in labial version and teeth with adjacent muscle attach ment and/or frenum involvement of the attached gin giva, generally have a narrow zone of attached gingiva. 8 With orthodontic hypereruption of teeth, the width of the attached gingiva may be increased with no change in the position of the mucogingival junction. 9,10 Var ious mucogingival surgical procedures, 11-21 may also increase the width of the attached gingiva, changing the position of the mucogingival junction. The effects of other periodontal procedures on the width of at tached gingiva and mucogingival junction are not known. The purpose of the present study was to assess certain clinical changes that will occur in the gingiva after scaling, root planing, and oral hygiene in areas of advanced or severe gingival inflammation. The param eters studied were location of the mucogingival junc tion, crevice depth, attachment level, height of the gingival margin, and width of the keratinized gingiva. MATERIALS AND METHODS * This study was submitted to the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies, The University of Michigan, by the senior author in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Periodontics.

Full-thickness mucosal grafts typically maintain their native epithelial morphology following transplantation to the ocular surface. Submucosal glands usually do not survive transplantation, which could be the result of intentional thinning of the graft at the time of transplantation. Contrary to the opinion that hard palate graft epithelium usually undergoes metaplasia from keratinized to nonkeratinized within 6 months following transplantation to the eye, all hard palate grafts in this study remained orthokeratotic and/or parakeratotic.
