Abstract Proliferative processes in the gingival mucosa are studied by autoradiography in 55 patients with chronic gingivitis. It is found that the number of DNA-producing epithelial cells does not change. Increased label intensity in chronic catarrhal and hypertrophic gingivitis in comparison with the control testifies to a sufficient compensatory reaction. Regenerative processes are suppressed in chronic atrophic gingivitis. The number of pathological mitoses increases with the development of pathomorphological changes in all studied types of gingivitis.
