Dental Science Institute at Houston, University of Texas, Houston, Texas 77025, Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90033 Histologic and electron microscopic study of inflamed gingival tissue reveals changes in both the epithelium and the connective tissues. These changes appear to be morphologically related. Although precise mechanisms are not known, there is evidence that a metabolic or chemical change in one of the tissues influences the behavior or metabolism of the other.
