[2025-10-02T01:11:37.652518] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing periodontal pockets**

I'm considering the question about which cells increase in the connective tissue wall of a periodontal pocket. It's pretty straightforward: in the pathogenesis of these pockets, it seems plasma cells are predominant, making up over 50% of the cells. I'll need to review the recent histopathology data, which confirms there's a chronic inflammatory infiltrate mainly consisting of plasma cells alongside lymphocytes and others. So, I believe the answer is A. Plasma cells. Now, I need to find citations for that!
