Plasma Cell Gingivitis - A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Plasma cell gingivitis is the condition that affects the gingiva and is generally rare and benign. The condition is characterized by sharply demarcated erythematous and edematous gingivitis often extending to the mucogingival junction. It is mainly due to a reaction to few allergens, often agents that give flavour or ingredients in chewing gums like that of spices, toothpastes and lozenges. Here we report on two cases of this condition. In the first case the etiology behind this condition was change of tooth paste while the second case was the result of metal allergy. Both of the patients were treated with gingivectomy followed by the elimination of etiology gave good results.
