Gingivitis
|
localized inflammation in the marginal gingiva and papilla; gingiva appears smooth and shiny, color change from pink to red and/ or magenta: bleeds easily and may or may not be painful; (etiology- poor oral hygiene)
|

|
gingivitis associated with pregnancy due to hormonal changes; good oral hygiene can control or eliminate problem
|
|
|
Acute Nectorizing Ulcerative Gingivitis
|
other names are Vincent's disease, Trench Mouth; etiology unknown but predisposing factors may be emotional stress, fatigue, excessive smoking or radical changes in normal routines; appears as tender, bleeding, swelling with papilla punched out and metallic taste.
|
|
|
Desquamative Gingivitis or Gingivosis
|
appears as a diffuse erythema to both the marginal and attached gingiva with occasional vesicle formation and areas of desquamation; etiology unknown but accocaited with hormonal influences, chronic infections
|

|
Dilantin Hyperplasia
|
hyperplasia associated with use of Dilantin Sodium for the control of epilepsy
|
|
|
Herpetic Gingivo Stomatitis

herpes simplex virus affecting gingiva; most common in children; appears as acute gingivitis and vesicles may erupt anywhere, affects both marginal and attached gingiva, and accompanied by fever, general malaise, and regional lymphadenopathy
|
|
|
Gingival Lead Line
|
lead intoxication through industrial hazards introduced by inhalation or breaks in the skin; line is bluish-black, several milimeters in width, and is only seen in marginal gingiva where pre-existing marginal gingivitis is present

Periodontitis
|
appears as severe gingivitis with periodontal pockets present and bone loss occurs
|
|
