Current concepts of the dentogingival junction: the epithelial and connective tissue attachments to the tooth

Journal of Periodontology
I B Stern

Abstract

This review leads to a concept in which the tissues of the dentogingival junction are dynamic rather that static. Even when they are pathologic, they can be reconstituted by repair. Both their cellular and extracellular components exhibit a high rate of turnover. Some of the cells are specialized for specific functions, such as attachment formation, and do not generate additional cells, but generative pools are always nearby. The cells are capable of movement and of positional change. The junctional epithelium can advance and retract. The cuticle width is alterable. The entire tissue is capable of regeneration after wounding. This dynamic group of tissues is well adapted for the healing of direct injuries produced during mastication. The tissues do remarkably well, over long periods, in their response to periodontal disease, whether due to direct bacterial or toxic damage, or to indirect damage via the migration of inflammatory cells into the lesion. The tissues show a capacity for repair and regeneration following the elimination of plaque formation and the resultant resolution of the inflammatory infiltrate. The complete story is not yet developed. The past 60 years are replete with fine contributions by distinguished workers...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
