Gingival reaction to well‐fitted subgingival proximal gold inlays

Gingival reaction to well‐fitted subgingival proximal gold inlays Abstract Proximal inlays were seated in contralateral teeth in eight subjects with clinically healthy gingivae. After 23 days, the subgingival area and part of the supragingival surface of one of the inlays was roughened with an abrasive instrument up to 1 mm above the gingival margin; the other inlay remained polished. Gingival fluid flow rate was buccally and lingually measured in the papillary area close to the proximal roughened and polished inlay surfaces and also at papillae beside sound proximal surfaces of the same teeth during a period of 85 days. In addition, plaque was scored and also assessed planimetrically. The mean gingival fluid flow rate was significantly higher adjacent to both the rough and polished filling surfaces when compared with proximal surfaces without restoration. Plaque indices were similar in the vicinity of filled and sound proximal areas irrespective of the gold surface texture. Planimetrically more plaque was formed on the sites of roughened inlays. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Clinical Periodontology Wiley

Abstract

Abstract Proximal inlays were seated in contralateral teeth in eight subjects with clinically healthy gingivae. After 23 days, the subgingival area and part of the supragingival surface of one of the inlays was roughened with an abrasive instrument up to 1 mm above the gingival margin; the other inlay remained polished. Gingival fluid flow rate was buccally and lingually measured in the papillary area close to the proximal roughened and polished inlay surfaces and also at papillae beside sound proximal surfaces of the same teeth during a period of 85 days. In addition, plaque was scored and also assessed planimetrically. The mean gingival fluid flow rate was significantly higher adjacent to both the rough and polished filling surfaces when compared with proximal surfaces without restoration. Plaque indices were similar in the vicinity of filled and sound proximal areas irrespective of the gold surface texture. Planimetrically more plaque was formed on the sites of roughened inlays.
