A study was designed to enumerate cell populations before, during and after experimentally induced periodontitis in squirrel monkeys. The clinically healthy gingival connective tissue adjacent to the sulcus contained populations of macrophages, plasma cells, lymphoid cells, and granulocytes, indicating that immune responses were probably in operation. Although these cell populations have been associated with tissue destruction, it is possible that they may serve to confine the antigens to the tissue adjacent to the sulcus, and reduce their spread apically. Active periodontitis was associated with the presence of granulocytes and macrophages in the transseptal fiber region. These cells are capable of causing the localized collagen degradation and bone resorption that occur during the destructive phase of the disease. Eight weeks after etiologic agents were removed, the cell populations in the transseptal fiber area returned to a level comparable with those in the pre-experimental, clinically healthy. This indicates that active periodontitis within the transseptal fiber region had ceased and repair had occurred.
