Treatment and prevention of chronic catarrhal gingivitis

Abstract

This disease is the most common form of gum inflammation, which occurs as a result of the pathogenic effects of microorganisms present in the gingival plaque. At the same time, the capillaries of the gum are in the center of the pathological process, and the teeth retain their stability.
According to the scale of inflammation, the disease can be localized or generalized. Chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis engulfs the gum along the entire length on one or both jaws, while localized spreads only in the area of 1-2 teeth. The cause of localized gingivitis is more often the overhanging edge of the filling, the sharp edge of a destroyed tooth or prosthesis.
