| gingival festoon | An arcuate enlargement of the marginal gingiva. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gingival fibromatosis | Fibromatosis that may be associated with trichodiscomas. Several genetic forms are known, all autosomal dominant . (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival fistula | A sinus tract originating in a peripheral abscess and opening into the oral cavity on the gingiva. Synonym: dental fistula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival flap | A portion of the gingiva whose coronal margin is surgically detached from the tooth and the alveolar process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival fluid | Fluid containing plasma proteins, which is present in increasing amounts in association with gingival inflammation. Synonym: crevicular fluid, sulcular fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival haemorrhage | 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gingival hyperplasia | 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gingival hypertrophy | <dentistry> The abnormal enlargement of the gingiva surrounding the teeth caused by poor oral hygiene. (08 Jan 1998) |

| gingival massage | Mechanical stimulation of the gingiva by rubbing or pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival mucosa | That portion of the oral mucous membrane that covers and is attached to the necks of the teeth and the alveolar process of the jaws; it is demarcated from lining mucosa on the facial aspect by a clearly defined line which marks the mucogingival junction, and, in contrast to the lining mucosa, is keratinised and lighter in colour; on the palatal surface, the gingiva blends imperceptibly with the palatal mucosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival overgrowth | 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). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Gingival-Periodontal Index | An index of gingivitis, gingival irritation, and advanced periodontal disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival pocket | An abnormal extension of a gingival sulcus not accompanied by the apical migration of the epithelial attachment. (12 Dec 1998) |
