“…Spirochetes have been reported in association with NUG by many authors (Hampp & Mergenhagen 1963, Listgarten & Socransky 1964, Listgarten 1965, Soames & Davies 1974, Listgarten 1976, Loesche et al 1982, Mikx & van Campen 1982. Penetration of spirochetes in the living tissues in NUG lesions has been reported since the beginning of the century (Ellerman 1907, Cahn 1929. More recently Schafl'er (1953), Listgarten and Socransky (1964), and Listgarten (1965) described spirochetes to penetrate the necrotized or necrotizing tissues at the diseased sites.…”

A new modification of the Warthin spirochete staining method was developed to study at the light microscopic level the distribution of spirochetes in gingival tissues of beagle dogs with induced necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. Spirochetes were present in cellular exudate at ulcerated sites, in edematous epithelium in the vicinity of ulcerations, and in intact sulcular epithelium. They did not appear to penetrate connective tissues via the ulcerations. These observations suggest that, in the etiology of NUG, spirochetes play a role in the initiation of the pathologic process by penetration of the intercellular spaces in the epithelium.
