Oral and dental conditions

This is generalized inflammation of the oral mucosal (including the gingiva) due to different aetiologies such as infections, chemical burn, radiation and allergy.

Inflammatory changes in the gingival develop within a couple of days of undisturbed bacterial growth on the gingival margin of the erupted tooth in the oral cavity.

This is the progression of the inflammation of gingival into the deep tissue affecting the periodontal membrane causing periodontal pockets, introduction of infection and destruction of periodontium.

It is a severe form of gingivitis and is characterized by rapid destruction of gingival tissue, particularly in the area of the interdental papilla.
