Abstract

The present work is one in a series of studies carried out to verify the relationship between bacteria and gingival tissues in pericoronitis. Exudates from 6 cases of acute pericoronitis were examined by light and electron microscopy, including ultrathin sections and negative staining. While bacterial phagocytosis was prevalent in all the exudates studied, spirochetes, which were the predominant microorganisms, were not observed being phagocytized by PMNs or macrophages. The presence of spirochetes in pericoronitis as compared with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is discussed.
