Induced Gingivitis & Intra-oral Imaging
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Plaque Induced Gingivitis
In brief
Using an experimental, non-invasive intra-oral imaging device, this study evaluates the effects on the gingival tissue when oral hygiene is stopped in a section of the mouth for two weeks and gingivitis develops. The effects on the gingival tissue continues to be evaluated as oral hygiene is resumed and the gingival tissue returns to health.
