title: [The morphological characteristics of the interaction of parietal microflora with the mucosal epitheliocytes of the alveolar crest in patients with partially missing teeth].
abstract: Microbiopsy specimens of the alveolar ridge obtained at the sites of missing teeth from patients and similar autopsy specimens from those dead without apparent oral and gastrointestinal diseases were examined electron microscopically in order to elucidate the interactions between the oral mucosa parietal microflora and epitheliocytes. Cocci-like microorganisms and microorganisms resembling Candida-like yeast by their ultrastructure were as a rule seen on the surface of the horny layer. The results evidence that loss of teeth involves the appearance of quite a number of various parietal bacteria in the oral mucosa, inducing characteristic changes in the pricky and horny layer cells. Intracellular location of the bacteria also contributes here. All this should be borne in mind when choosing the denture design. Antibacterial therapy appears to be advisable before fitting the patients with dentures.
