gingivitis is an inflammatory destructive disease mainly caused by microbial plaques. gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli or cocci have been isolated from dental plaque and gingivitis. this study was going to isolate and characterize the pathogenic bacteria from gingival of 100 patients with oral gingivitis. enriched and specific media used for isolation of bacteria. identification of isola...

Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare condition characterized by diffuse and massive infiltration of plasma cells into the sub-epithelial connective tissue. It is usually considered to be a hypersensitive reaction to an allergen, although the exact etiology remains unknown. Clinically, it appears as a diffuse, erythematous and edematous growth in anterior maxillary gingiva with a sharp demarcation a...

A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed to investigate the effectiveness of a herbal-based dentifrice in the control of gingivitis. Forty volunteers completed the 84-day study. All subjects were balanced for parameters measured - plaque index (PI), community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) and papillary bleeding index (PBI). The dentifrice was effective in r...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to describe two cases of desquamative gingivitis (DG) that were treated with a topic gel containing clobetasol propionate and Calendula officinalis L in an acetate tray over two years. METHODS Two patients with a diagnosis of lichen planus presenting as DG who had undergone previous treatments for this condition with no significant results, were treated...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa and also may be seen with the other oral diseases as aggressive periodontitis that is characterized by a considerable attachment loss over a relatively short period of time. Streptococcal infections of gingiva are seen rarely; also the origin of this gingival inflammation is occasionally different from that of routine pl...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis properties of Acacia arabicacontaining toothpaste in an adult population. METHODS Sixty subjects with gingivitis were randomly assigned to a test group (Acacia arabica-containing toothpaste) or control group (regular toothpaste). An analysis of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing index (BOP%) were carried out...

Statistical comparisons of the floras associated with juvenile periodontitis, severe periodontitis, and moderate periodontitis indicated that differences in the bacterial compositions of affected sites in these populations were not statistically significant. The subgingival flora of affected juvenile periodontitis sites was statistically significantly different from the adjacent supragingival f...

Introduction and objectives: positive correlation have been seen between high salivary calcium content and periodontal disease. This study was designed to compare inorganic salivary calcium, phosphate, flow rate and ph, of paraffin wax stimulated saliva of patients with gingivitis; mild periodontitis; moderate periodontitis; severe periodontitis. Methods: the present study consisted of 125 pati...

The effect of Aloe vera on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis was evaluated in a randomized, parallel and double-blind clinical trial. Subjects were randomly allocated to the test group (n=15) - dentifrice containing Aloe vera - or the control group (n=15) - fluoridated dentifrice. Plaque index (PI) and gingival bleeding index (GBI) were assessed at days 0 and 30. Subjects were asked to bru...
