title: [Determination of surface morphological changes during therapy of gingivitis].
abstract: Changes in inflammatory gingival disease of the anterior dental area of the mandible caused by therapy are evaluated with the help of surface morphometric methods. The clinical diversities of the healthy and diseased gum can be presented by comparative consideration of the measurements. The relationship of the contour of the gum to tartar formation and capacity for retention of plaque are interpreted. The ratio of papillary to dental surface allows these findings to be incorporated into the physiomorphological or pathomorphological state.
