Sažetak
In order to determine in the best possible way the degree of maturation of the superficial epithelium in individual regions of the oral mucosa and thus of the gingiva, exfoliative cytology is often used. The technique of the superficial smear is very suitable because the polychromatic staining of the cellular details enables us to make the morphological differentiation and determination of the maturity of each cell separately. Data from the literature on the differentiation of the endocellular morphological structure of individual epithelial regions in a healthy and in a pathologically alterated gingiva are often contradictory. Possibly this may be ascribed to the effect of different functional stimuli and insufficient knowledge of the factors leading to a change in the gingival epithelium, thus forming the basis for pathological processes in the parodontium. Exfolliative cytology of the superficial epithelium of a healthy and a pathologically changed gingiva reported on in this paper is a contribution towards better knowledge of the link between the endocellular structure of the gingival epithelium and functional manifestations in the parodontium.
