Intra-/inter-examiner reproducibility study of gingival bleeding.

TL;DR: The results show that the agreement both within and between clinicians could hardly be rated as 'fair' on a site basis, and the direction of the probing influences the number of provoked bleeding sites.

Pregnancy gingivitis: History, classification, etiology

TL;DR: The histologic changes apparently do not arise from a single etiological factor, but are a manifestation of the altered nutritional and the metabolic status of the individual during pregnancy, and the immediate cause of the gingival changes appears to be a diminished utilization of estrogen or a modification of estrogen metabolism.
