Sulcular epithelium

In dental anatomy, the sulcular epithelium is that epithelium which lines the gingival sulcus.[1] It is apically bounded by the junctional epithelium and meets the epithelium of the oral cavity at the height of the free gingival margin. The sulcular epithelium is nonkeratinized.[1]
