[Hormonal receptors in gingival inflammation].
An empiric correlation between the inflamed gingiva and hormonal variations during physiological conditions such as pregnancy and menstrual cycle is already known. The demonstration of specific steroid receptors in human gingiva has suggested a relationship between the ovarian hormones and the dimensional changes of the gingiva. In this work, estrogen and progesterone receptors in healthy and inflamed gingiva have been studied.
