Gingipain Cysteine Endopeptidases
|
D000080867 |
[Cysteine endoproteinases, from periodontal pathogen PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS, acting as virulence factors associated with PERIODONTITIS. They are produced as pre-proproteins which mature into ARGININE and LYSINE specific endopeptidases.

Gingiva
|
D005881 |
[Oral tissue surrounding and attached to TEETH.
] |
|
Gingival Crevicular Fluid
|
D005883 |
[A fluid occurring in minute amounts in the gingival crevice, believed by some authorities to be an inflammatory exudate and by others to cleanse material from the crevice, containing sticky plasma proteins which improve adhesions of the epithelial attachment, have antimicrobial properties, and exert antibody activity. (From Jablonski, Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry, 1982)

Gingival Diseases
|
D005882 |
[Diseases involving the GINGIVA.
] |
|
Gingival Hemorrhage
|
D005884 |
[The flowing of blood from the marginal gingival area, particularly the sulcus, seen in such conditions as GINGIVITIS, marginal PERIODONTITIS, injury, and ASCORBIC ACID DEFICIENCY.
] |
|
Gingival Hyperplasia
|
D005885 |
[Non-inflammatory enlargement of the gingivae produced by factors other than local irritation. It is characteristically due to an increase in the number of cells. (From Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p400)
] |
|
Gingival Hypertrophy
|
D005886 |
[Abnormal enlargement or overgrowth of the gingivae brought about by enlargement of existing cells.
] |
|
Gingival Neoplasms
|
D005887 |
[New abnormal growth of tissue in the GINGIVA.
] |
|
Gingival Overgrowth
|
D019214 |
[Excessive growth of the gingiva either by an increase in the size of the constituent cells (GINGIVAL HYPERTROPHY) or by an increase in their number (GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA). (From Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p574)

|
Gingival Pocket
|
D005888 |
[An abnormal extension of a gingival sulcus not accompanied by the apical migration of the epithelial attachment.
] |
|
Gingival Recession
|
D005889 |
[Exposure of the root surface when the edge of the gum (GINGIVA) moves apically away from the crown of the tooth. This is common with advancing age, vigorous tooth brushing, diseases, or tissue loss of the gingiva, the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT and the supporting bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS).

|
Gingival Retraction Techniques
|
D060745 |
[Techniques used to expose dental surface below the gingival margin in order to obtain better dental impression during periodental and peri-implant applications. The retraction of the gingival tissue can be achieved surgically (e.g., laser gingivectomy and rotary curettage) or chemically with a retraction cord.
] |
|
Gingivectomy
|
D005890 |
[Surgical excision of the gingiva at the level of its attachment, thus creating new marginal gingiva. This procedure is used to eliminate gingival or periodontal pockets or to provide an approach for extensive surgical interventions, and to gain access necessary to remove calculus within the pocket. (Dorland, 28th ed)

|
Gingivitis
|
D005891 |
[Inflammation of gum tissue (GINGIVA) without loss of connective tissue.
] |
|
Gingivitis, Necrotizing Ulcerative
|
D005892 |
[VINCENT INFECTION where the lesions spread to the SOFT PALATE and OROPHARYNX.
, An acute or chronic GINGIVITIS characterized by redness and swelling, NECROSIS extending from the interdental papillae along the gingival margins, PAIN; HEMORRHAGE, necrotic odor, and often a pseudomembrane. The condition may extend to the ORAL MUCOSA; TONGUE; PALATE; or PHARYNX. The etiology is somewhat unclear, but may involve a complex of FUSOBACTERIUM NUCLEATUM along with spirochetes BORRELIA or TREPONEMA.
] |
|
Gingivoplasty
|
D005893 |
[Surgical reshaping of the gingivae and papillae for correction of deformities (particularly enlargements) and to provide the gingivae with a normal and functional form, the incision creating an external bevel. (Dorland, 28th ed)
] |
|
Ginkgo biloba
|
D020441 |
[The only specie of the genus Ginkgo, family Ginkgoacea. It is the source of extracts of medicinal interest, especially Egb 761. Ginkgo may refer to the genus or species.
] |
|
Ginkgolides
|
D046934 |
[DITERPENES with three LACTONES and a unique tert-butyl group, which are found in GINKGO plants along with BILOBALIDES.
] |
|
Ginsenosides
|
D036145 |
[Dammarane type triterpene saponins based mainly on the aglycones, protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol.
] |
|
Giraffes
|
D000068276 |
[Four-legged hoofed mammals that are closely related to giraffes, although they bear stripes similar to zebras.
, Four-legged hoofed mammals with extremely long necks and legs belonging to the family Giraffidae.
