gingivitis/edema

Introduction: Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is an unusual inflammatory condition characterized by dense, band-like polyclonal plasmacytic infiltration of the lamina propria. Clinically, it appears as gingival enlargement with erythema and

The aim of the present study was to verify if clinical signs of gingivitis such as color changes, edema, and bleeding in the anterior region influence the OHRQoL of adolescents. We followed a cross-sectional convenience sample of 67 adolescents aged 11 to 16 years receiving dental treatment at the

Plasma-cell gingivitis (PCG) is an uncommon inflammatory condition of idiopathic etiology. PCG is a rare condition, appearing as erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) of the attached gingiva. The diagnosis of PCG is based on arrant history taking, clinical examination, and appropriate diagnostic

Light optics, electron microscopy, morphometry were used to study the structural changes in the epithelial cells and endotheliocytes of gingival papillary capillaries of patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis after papaverin therapy. The studies have revealed signs of disappearance of

Pregnancy gingivitis is developed in 30-75% of cases and it is a result of complicated hormonal and immunological changes in the organism. 100 pregnant women with various degree of severity of gingivitis have been observed. Acute generalized gingivitis, gingival edema with bleeding, hyperplasia,

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the suitability of measuring volume differences in the gingival tissue for monitoring changes in the inflammatory status of the gingiva. METHODS Data for this investigation were obtained from a mouthrinse evaluation which was performed as a 4-week,

Lowering of interstitial fluid pressure (P(if)) is an important factor that explains the rapid edema formation in acute inflammation in loose connective tissues. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are

Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent health problems in the world and is the major cause of tooth loss in the adult population. Its two major subdivisions are gingivitis where disease is confined to the gingiva, and periodontitis where disease is present both in the gingiva and the

During pregnancy, manifestations of different nature can occur on the oral mucosa ranging from extended edema to haemorrhagic stomatitis. Alterations are more evident when poor dental care and hygiene are present. An important role in this gingival attentions is attributed to an increase in the

For centuries, scurvy, or vitamin C deficiency, decimated crews of sailing ships on long sea voyages and populations deprived of fresh fruits and vegetables during times of war or famine. Today, scurvy is extremely rare in the United States, and its classic findings of perifollicular petechiae,

We report 52 cases of a unique and pathologically distinctive form of inflammatory gingival hyperplasia in young patients. Clinically, the average age of patients in this study was 11.8 years, with a 2.3:1 female predominance. Caucasians comprised 77% of the cases, and nearly all of the lesions were

Forty-two patients with chronic generalized periodontitis were treated. Thirty-five patients presented with exacerbation of the disease of second-third degree of severity, clinically manifesting with hyperemia, edema of the gingival mucosa with pyorrhea from the gingivodental pouches, and mobility

The daily vitamin intake of the Swiss population seems to be good. In certain situations or population groups a vitamin or mineral salt deficiency is still possible. It seems more useful to show the different changes of the skin, mucous membranes, hair or nails in the various vitamin or mineral salt

An unusual gingivitis noted as a discrete lesion involving the facial attached gingiva in a focal and confined area has been described in two adolescent females. A unique histopathologic appearance includes a striking intraepithelial edema associated with a focal area of acute and chronic
