When you have gingivitis, your gums are swollen and red. It usually expands from the interdental papilla to the gingival margin. The gingival sulcus exudate increases, and it is easy to bleed when stimulated by brushing. The free gingival sulcus and step ring disappeared to form a false periodontal pocket, and the fibrous hypertrophy was banded.
White supragingival calculus can also be seen near the openings of the salivary glands, such as the lingual side of the mandibular anterior teeth and the cheek side of the upper molars. In the study of Theilade and Löe (1966), 9 to 21 days of cessation of brushing produced symptoms of periodontal inflammation, but the inflammation disappeared after about 8 days of renewed brushing.
