The gingival sulcus contains several types of cells, including:
- Epithelial Cells: These cells form the lining of the sulcus and are crucial for the barrier function. - Fibroblasts: Found in the underlying connective tissue, they produce collagen and other fibers. - Immune Cells: Such as macrophages and lymphocytes, which play a role in immune surveillance and response. - Endothelial Cells: These line the blood vessels that are present in the underlying connective tissue.
