Abstract

Aim . To investigate structural changes developing in gingival fibroblasts of marginal chronic gingivitis (CG) patients after comprehensive therapy including anode galvanic stimulation of the gums.
Materials and methods . A study was conducted using the methods of light and electron microscopy, morphometry of gingival tissue samples of 39 individuals (10 patients with intact gums, 10 patients with CG before treatment, and 19 patients with CG after treatment including, in addition to professional removal of dental calculus, training in oral hygiene techniques, monitoring the level of oral hygiene and 3-fold gingival anode galvanic stimulation for 5 min which allows to stop swelling and bleeding of gums as soon as possible).
Results . In the gingival fibroblasts of patients with chronic gingivitis after treatment, which included anode-galvanization, structural signs of a decrease in the synthetic activity of cells were detected. An increase in the volume density of collagen fibers was found in the extracellular matrix of the gingival connective tissue layer, probably due to the dehydration of the gum tissue under effect of direct electric current.
Conclusion . The identified structural changes may affect the repair processes in the periodontium.
