Guardian of Oral Cavity- Mechanism of Gingival Defense
Main Article Content
Abstract
Defense is the ability to fend off an attack .The oral cavity has several defense systems that can fend off different types of injuries. A variety of mechanical, chemical, and antigenic stresses are continuously applied to gingiva;some of these challenges are temporary, while others are ongoing. his study will go over various defense mechanism the gingiva uses to protect and prepare itself from the harsh environment. Defense e is ability to withstand the attack;the mouth cavity has many defense system that protect it from injuries.A vast range of mechnaical, chemical, and antigenic obstacles are continuously faced by gingiva. This study will go over the several defense mechanism how gingiva will protect from the harsh environmental.
