Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interstitial Gingivitis: Or So-Called Pyorrhoea Alveolaris The influence of morbid heredity as a direct factor will be Shown not to be great. The influence, however, of degeneracy expressing itself along the lines of least resistance will appear as an ominously important factor. Heredity here, as elsewhere, 1s a warning rather than a destiny. The influence of the nervous system on the processes of growth and repair, which is called its trophic function, has been shown to play a part in both the etiology of the disease and in its progress. This function has received but little attention from dentists, albeit its influence has been recognized in dental path ology in connection with great neuroses like paretic dementia and locomotor ataxia, in which gum disorders occur, followed by loosening of the teeth. The pathology of the disease has been discussed in the light of established facts of general pathology which have been accepted by the leading dental investigators, and not merely from a hypothetic standpoint. The disease has been regarded as a local exaggeration of certain physiologic pro cesses, accompanied by diminution of the intensity of others. In the study of this phase of the question, the latest researches of dental pathologists as well as original observation and experiment have been employed.
