GINGIVA
“Gingiva is the part of the oral mucosa that covers the alveolar processes of the jaws and surrounds the neck of the teeth. (Carranza 1o th ed)
““The fibrous investing tissue, covered by keratinized epithelium, which immediately surrounds a tooth and is contiguous with its periodontal ligament and with the mucosal tissues of the mouth.”.” A A P A A P 19921992

Anatomically Free or Marginal
Gingiva. Attached Gingiva. Interdental Gingiva.
(Carranza 10th ed)

Keratinization can be defined as expression & synthesis of keratin proteins in the basal layer of cell,their chemical composition in the upper layer & their interaction with keratohyalin granules & formation of filamentous matrix structure in the interior of corneocyte & strenghtening of the envelope.
(The process of keratinization of gingival epithelium. ;The Journal of western society of periodontology; 1979)
KERATINIZATION
7
Also called as “CORNIFICATION” Differantiation process rather than degeneration Process of protein synthesis→Requires
energy→dependent on functional cells containing nucleus & organelles
Cell migrate from basal to superficial→biochemical & morphological events takeplace
Cytoplasmic proteins tranform into keratin filaments
Cytoplasm & nucleus both decompose.
8
PARAKERATINI Z ATION: the stratum corneum retains pkynotic nuclei and the keratohyaline granules are dispersed, not giving rise to
stratum granulosum.NON-KERATINIZED EPITHELIUM neither granulosum nor corneum strata and superficial cells have viable nuclei.ORTHOKERATINIZATION: similar to that of skin with no nuclei in the stratum corneum
and a well-defined stratum granulosum.
9
Only some areas of the outer gingival epithelium are
orthokeratinized the other gingival areas are covered by parakeratinized or nonkeratinized epithelium.
In the gingival epithelium ,15% area is orthokeratinised other areas are covered by parakeratinised ;75%or nonkeratinised epithelium 10%
Diurnal cycle of keratinization activity is seen between 12pm to 4am
10
The outer surface of the free & attached gingiva is covered by a keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium.
The principal cell type of the gingival epithelium, as well as of other stratified squamous is keratinocyte.
Keratinizing oral epithelium has four cell layers: Basal, Stratum basale, Spinous, Stratum spinosum Granular Stratum granulosum and Cornified,Stratum corneum
GINGIVA L KERATINI Z ATION

12
The basal layer is made up of cells that
synthesize DNA and undergo mitosis, thus providing new cells. Most of the new cells are generated in the basal layer.
13
Cytoplasm of the basal cells contain widely dispersed tonofilaments, also referred to as Cytokeratins which are precurser of keratin’and in some way are attached to the attachment plaques.
ribosomes & rough endoplasmic reticulum are found-, indicative of protein synthesizing activity.
.
( Orbans 10th ed)14
The intercellular spaces - are large & distended;
thus desmosomes are made more prominent &
these cells are given a prickly appearance.
The spinous (prickle) cells resemble a cockleburr or
sticker that has each spine ending at a desomosome.
Spinous cells are the most active in protein synthesis.
Contains numerous dense granules – keratinosome or
Odland bodies ( Orbans 10th ed)
2 Stratum spinosum
15
ODLAND BODIES:
16
Cells are larger and flatter.
Cells show increase in maturation.
nuclei shows signs of degeneration
and pyknosis.
C ytoplasm is predominantly occupied by
the tonofilaments & tonofibrils.
C ells contain large no’s of small granules –
keratohyalin granules- these
granules help to form the matrix for the
numerous keratin fibers found in the
superficial layers ( Orbans 10th ed)17
Thus,corneocytes are mainly formed by bundles of keratin tonofilaments embedded in an amorphous matrix of filaggrin and surrounded by a resistant envelope under the cell membrane.
18
BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
19
Cells are very flat ,devoid of nuclei, full of
keratin filaments surrounded by a matrix
may be termed epithelial squamae & are
dehydrated.
does not synthesize protein.
These cells are shed (the process of
desquamation), necessitating constant
turnover of epithelial cells.
Str corn. provides the mechanical protective
function to the mucosa.
Varies in thickness (upto 20 cells).
Keratinocytes increase in volume in each
successive layer. ( Lindhe 5th ed)20

Immunohistochemistry, gel electrophoresis, and immunoblot techniques suggest that, keratin proteins are composed of different polypeptide subunits characterized by their isoelectric points and molecular weights.
Numbered →their molecular weights.
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
28
Cytokeratin proteins( CK ) They are composed of different polypeptide subunits
&numbered in a sequence contrary to their molecular weights.
eg. K19- mol wt. 40 kDa – present at basal cells
2 gene family Type I Acidic No. 9-20
high tissue specificity they are always in pairs - type I is smaller than type II by about
8kDa
TYPE IIBasic No.1-8
29
Keratin K1, K2and K10 to K12 -Specific for epidermal type differentiation.
-Expressed with high intensity in orthokeratinized areas & less intensity in parakeratinized areas. K6 and K16
-Characteristic of highly proliferative epithelia. K5 and K14
-Stratification specific cytokeratines -Both are present in outer epithelia. K19 -Absent in orthokeratinized areas.

32
Keratinocytes are interconnected by structures on the cell periphery called desmosomes.
They consist of two dense attachment plates into which tonofibrils insert and an intermediate,electron-dense line in the extracellular compartment
Tonofilaments →morphologic expression of the cytoskeleton of keratin proteins→ radiate in brush like fashion from the attachment plaques in the cytoplasm of the cells
cytoplasmic projections resembling microvillie extend into the intercellular space and often interdigitate
33
34
The main function of the gingival epithelium is to protect the deep structures while allowing a selective interchange with the oral environment. This is achieved by proliferation and differentiation of keratinocyte
The gingiva is exposed to heavy mechanical stresses during mastication.moreover the epithelial attachment of tooth is relatively weak & susceptible to injury ;can cause permanent damage.
Thus keratinization of gingiva may afford relative protection.
35
The Involucrin becomes cross linked (by the enzyme transglutaminase) to form a thin (l0nm), highly resistant, electron dense, cornified envelop just beneath the plasma membrane.
The keratin is also strongly cross-linked by disulphide bonds, contributing to the mechanical and chemical resistance of the layer.
36
The keratinized gingiva on the facial aspect of teeth extend from gingival margin to MGJ. It is often claimed that presence of zone of atleast 2mm of keratinized gingiva is necessary for the maintainance of gingival health.(Gottsegon 1954,Naber 1954,Glickman 1992,Corn 1973,Schuluger 1977).
Lang & Loe(1992) support this whereas others authors (Miyasatto 1977,Grey & Besmimoulin 1980, Doffman et al 1980) suggests that there is no requirement for minimal width-provided accumalation of plaque is inhibited.

ATTACHED GINGIVA
Resistance to products of inflammation. Gives support to the marginal gingiva Helps to withstand functional stress Resistance to tensional stresses. Provides solid base for movable alveolar
mucosa To dissipate the pull on the gingival margin
created by the muscles of the adjacent alveolar mucosa. ( Sullivan et al 1968)
Helps to prevent soft tissue recession and attachment loss
Helps in connective tissue attachment

Keratinization serves as an epithelial barrier so with decreased keratinization infection susceptibility is increased.(Scheman;1989)
There is increased susceptibility to masticatory force damage due to decreased resistance to functional & tensional stresses.
SEQULAE:
41
Rapid turnover of cells of keratinized epithelium
Keratinized layer is dehydrated to form hexagonal disks or squames
Squames are cont. lost by desquamation & replaced by cells of underlying layers
Rapid clearance-limits colonization & invasion of epithelial surface by pathogenic micro organisms Including common oral fungus candida albicans
Thus with↓keratinization↑chances of infection are there
42
The immunohistochemical patterns of the different keratin types, envelope proteins, and filaggrin, change under normal or pathologic stimuli, modifying the keratinization process THIS COULD BE OF DIAGNOSTIC VALUE.

Oral dysplasia is a premalignant lesion but some cases respond to treatment or revert spontaneously and therefore it is desirable
to define molecular changes that would allow pathologists to identify the highest risk lesions.
Moreover K8,k18 &K19 – found in highly proliferative epithelia is seen in oral leukoplakia & SCC.(Su et al, 1996)- they can be used for diagnosis
48
The desmosomes attachment plaques contain the polypeptides desmoplakin I and II.
Monoclonal antibodies to these polypeptides can be used to detect an epithelial tumor by immunofluoroscent microscopy.
49
Accelarated turnover of cells is seen. K6, K16 and K17 were detected
suprabasally in psoriatic epidermis As keratins K6, K16 and K17 are expressed
in keratinocyte hyperproliferation, Thus it signifies the same.
PSORIASIS
Leigh et al; 1995

Hyperkeratotic lesions - lichen planus and fibromas showed aberrations in their Ck profile.
extended expression of keratinization marker Ck 10, Ck 14 and Ck 16 in the suprabasal compartment.
The stratification markers Cks 4 and 13 showed a decreased expression.
Help to to characterize benign mucosal lesions with dysplasia and might be helpful for distinguishing these lesions from potentially malignant ones.
BENIGN LESIONS OF THE ORAL MUCOSA
Volden et al 199951
parakeratotic epithelium markers (K4 and K13) were detected but showed reduced expression in orthokeratoses( K1 and K10), particularly in the presence of lymphocytes.
study showed an alteration in the pattern of differentiation-specific keratins, although involvement of the lymphocytic infiltrate (Interferon γ )in OLP resulted in further gene modulation.
Thus, the pattern of keratin gene expression may be altered in response to frictional/smoking stimuli or immune-mediated mechanisms
ORAL NON-DYSPLASTIC KERATOSES AND LICHEN PLANUS
Bloor et al 200052
Terminal differentiation markers, typical of cornified epithelia (CK 1, 9, 10 and 11), were detected supra basally in the snuff user's keratosis but not in the normal control epithelium.
The results show that use of oral snuff causes some alterations in the CK expression pattern of the affected epithelium. Whether the alterations are indicative of a premalignant change is, however, uncertain.

dyshesive, dyskeratotic epithelial syndrome caused by an abnormality in desmosomes and gap junctions, involves the mucosae, skin, hair, eyes, and lungs.
gingival sections showed a dyshesive epithelium with atrophy, dyskeratosis, lack of keratinization, and unusual cytoplasmic inclusions.
patients with hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia have numerous skin problems and are susceptible to recurrent infection .

Conclusion
57
Keratinization of gingiva is indespensable
to maintain its state of health.Expression of cytokeratins is tissue specific
and even strata specific & any alteration in this suspects breach from its state of normalcy.
It is desirable to define these molecular changes that would allow pathologists to
identify the highest risk lesions & thus it holds promising future in diagnosis….
