The fibroblast represents the predominant cellular type into the conjunctive periodontal tissue and
it is considered to be a cellular component of the periodontal disease.The gingival fibroblasts as the
otherwise localized fibroblasts synthesize and secrete the collagen fibers, elastin, non collagen proteins,
glico proteins and glicosaminoglicans.
The cytokines and metalloproteinases matrix, by a massive secretion of inflammatory mediators,
participates into the inflammatory process of the periodontal area during the periodontal disease. It
is known that during the periodontal disease the formation of a cellular infiltrate and the destruction
of collagen fibers in lamina propria take place.
We will study the proportion between the collagen fibers from the cellular inflammatory infiltrate
in chronic periodontal disease to establish the degree of periodontal damage and some prognosis criteria.
