Abstract:
AIM: The aims of this study were to validate a randomized, split-mouth, localized experimental gingivitis model and to identify subjects with different gingivitis susceptibility. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In each of 96 healthy subjects, one maxillary quadrant was randomly assigned as "test" (experimental gingivitis) and the contralateral quadrant as "control". Plaque index (PlI), gingival index (GI), gingival crevicular fluid volume (GCF), and angulated bleeding score (AngBS) were recorded in both quadrants at days 0, 7, 14, and 21. Cumulative plaque exposure (CPE), i.e. PlI over time, was calculated. Day-21 GCF was standardized according to CPE, and residuals of GCF on CPE were calculated. Two subpopulations were then defined, based on upper and lower quartiles of GCF-residual distribution and were, respectively, identified as "high-responder" (HR; n=24) and "low-responder" (LR; n=24). RESULTS: At test quadrants, all parameters significantly increased throughout the trial, while in control quadrants, PlI, GI, and AngBS remained low. Significant differences were noted between test and control quadrants on days 7, 14, and 21 for all parameters. Significant increases in GI, AngBS, and GCF were observed in test quadrants over the course of the study in both HR and LR groups. Significant differences were noted between HR and LR groups for all gingivitis parameters on day 21 in test quadrants, without any significant differences in PlI or CPE between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: We identified two subpopulations characterized by significant differences in clinical parameters of plaque-induced gingival inflammation, despite similar amounts of plaque deposits and plaque accumulation rates.
