The three-dimensional rendering of the junctional structures revealed that both AJs and TJs in the gingival epithelium formed discontinuous short bands or patches. Interestingly, strong bacterial signals were observed at the granular/keratinized layers of both SE and OE, but a few bacteria were detected within the junctional epithelium (JE) and the basal/spinous layers of the SE and OE. AJs and TJs form a discontinuous barrier throughout paracellular passage in the gingival epithelium; nevertheless, they seem to play an important role
