Evaluation of the gingival tissue inflammation in the patients with and without periodontitis. a Representative immunohistochemical staining of CD3-positive lymphocytes in gingival tissue samples obtained from patients with periodontitis and periodontally healthy controls (non-periodontitis). Magnification ×100 and ×2.5 zoom-in on the area of interest (scale bars 100 μm). b and c graphs show mean of b positive cell scores of inflammation (± SD) and c CD3-positive lymphocytes in tissue sections obtained from patients with periodontitis (n = 15) and non-periodontitis subjects (n = 15). E epithelium, CT connective tissue. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
