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.
