“…The lymphocytes were harvested and set up in cultures containing 1 X 106 lymphocytes in 1 antigen. The average of the two counts for each antigen was divided by the average of the saline controls to give a Stimulation Index which forms the basis for the comparisons.…”

“…With the pregnant patients the mean Veillonella SI fell from 2.83 at week 14 to 2.60 at week 30 rising postpartum to 2.89. These changes were associated with a rise of the mean GI for the moderate group from 1 the significance of the pregnant gioup SI differences with the nonpregnant ones using a two-sample t test.…”

“…1 in pregnancy gingivitis seems to have been overlooked and consequently it seemed relevant to see if any relationship could be established between depression of the cell-mediated (or T-lymphocyte) response and the exacerbation of gingivitis in the pregnant patient. Ivanyi and Lehner1' devised a method of correlating in vitro lymphocyte response to plaque antigens with a clinical score, and demonstrated a relationship between the extent of lymphocyte response and the degree of gingivitis and moderate Periodontitis.…”

The exacerbation of a chronic gingivitis during pregnancy was confirmed in a group of 24 pregnant patients who were observed at the 14th and 30th weeks of pregnancy and postpartum. This exacerbation occurred despite a fall in the amount of plaque accumulation and confirmed that during pregnancy some factor in addition to plaque is involved in the increased inflammation. Using in vitro methods, it was shown that during pregnancy there is a depression of maternal T-cell responsiveness and it is suggested that this depression of the cell-mediated immune response could be a factor in the altered responsiveness of the gingival tissues to plaque. However lymphocytes responses to Veillonella alkalescens ultrasonicate (a plaque antigen) were generally poor and it was not possible to demonstrate any significant difference between the altered responsiveness of maternal lymphocytes to Veillonella and those of nonpregnant controls.

“…In a later study, Ziskin and Nesse (1946) found that the most prominent changes in the gingiva during pregnancy were a loss of surface keratin, hydropic degeneration of the prickle cell layer of the epithelium, hyperplasia of the germinative layer, and inflammatory changes in the lamina propria. They listed as the most prominent cause of the gingival changes to be a lack of utilization of estrogen or modification of endogenous estrogen.…”
