Gingivitis Inflammatory and Immune Pathways

Bill Dobson

A non-destructive condition known as gingivitis produces gum inflammation. Plaque-induced gingivitis, also known as gingivitis caused by bacterial biofilms (also known as plaque), is the most prevalent kind of gingivitis and the most prevalent type of periodontal disease overall. Most cases of gingivitis are brought on by plaque. Periodontitis always comes before gingivitis, even if some cases of gingivitis never turn into that condition. Gingivitis can be reversed with regular dental care, but if left untreated, it can develop into periodontitis, an inflammatory condition of the gums that causes tissue loss and bone loss around the teeth. The eventual result of periodontitis is tooth loss.
