What are the clinical features of gingival versus alveolar mucosa?
What will be an ideal response?
The gingiva is more pink in color than the alveolar mucosa because of the presence of keratin in the gingiva. The color of the alveolar mucosa is darker red than the gingiva because of its highly vascular underlying connective tissue. The alveolar mucosa is compressible and movable due to the presence of a submucosa, which the gingiva does not have.
