title: [Photogrammetric studies on the degree of swelling in the inflamed gingiva].
abstract: A photographic method was described with which changes in the swelling of the gingiva can be objectively determined. During exposure of the film, the flash device projects vertical lines on the teeth and gingiva. These lines are photographed with a compact camera which the subject holds with his teeth over a separate occlusion template. Increased swelling of the gingiva was demonstrated in eight subjects during an observation period of 21 days in which no oral hygiene was carried out.
