Examples of gingivitis in the following topics:
-
- Plaque-induced inflammatory lesions make up the vast majority of periodontal diseases, which are divided into peridontitis or gingivitis.
- The gingival inflammation and bone destruction of peridontitis are largely painless.
- Gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums, is a non-destructive peridontal disease .
- In some people, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis –- with the destruction of the gingival fibers, the gum tissues separate from the tooth, forming pockets between the tooth and gum.
- Calculus above and below the gum line must be removed completely by the dental hygienist or dentist to treat gingivitis and periodontitis.
-
- Thus, when root surfaces of teeth are exposed from gingival recession or periodontal disease, caries can develop more readily.
