Epithelial proliferation of various regions of macaque gingival epithelium, as measured by uptake of locally injected H 3 ‐thymidine, showed regional differences which could be explained in part by the size and nature of the inflammatory infiltrate invariably found in gingival biopsies. The proliferative activity of oral sulcular epithelium was greater than that of oral epithelium and was negatively correlated with the size of the area of infiltrated connective tissue. On the other hand labelling of oral epithelium was positively correlated with size of infiltrate, the effect decreasing with distance of the epithelium from the infiltrate
