A gingival disease is a disorder primarily affecting the gingiva.
Herpetic gingivostomatitis
Gingivostomatitis (also known as primary herpetic gingivostomatitis or orolabial herpes) is a combination of gingivitis and stomatitis, or an inflammation of the oral mucosa and gingiva.
Hypercementosis
Hypercementosis is an idiopathic, non-neoplastic condition characterized by the excessive buildup of normal cementum (calcified tissue) on the roots of one or more teeth.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis, also known as pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium, i.
Calculus (dental)
In dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque.
Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG; colloquially known as trench mouth) is a common, non-contagious infection of the gums with sudden onset.
Pericoronitis
Pericoronitis (from the Greek peri, "around", Latin corona "crown" and -itis, "inflammation") also known as operculitis, is inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, including the gingiva (gums) and the dental follicle.
Gingival enlargement
Gingival enlargement, (also termed gingival overgrowth, hypertrophic gingivitis, gingival hyperplasia, or gingival hypertrophy, and sometimes abbreviated to GO), is an increase in the size of the gingiva (gums).
Congenital epulis
The congenital epulis is a proliferation of cells on the upper jaw at birth.
Desquamative gingivitis
Desquamative gingivitis (DG) is an erythematous (red), desquamatous (shedding) and ulcerated appearance of the gums.
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
The peripheral odontogenic fibroma is an uncommon gingival mass.
Gingivitis
Gingivitis ("inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-destructive disease that occurs around the teeth.
Chronic periodontitis
Chronic periodontitis is a common disease of the oral cavity consisting of chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues that is caused by accumulation of profuse amounts of dental plaque.
Epulis
Epulis (plural epulides) is any tumor like enlargement (i.e. lump) situated on the gingival or alveolar mucosa.
Periodontal abscess
A periodontal abscess (also termed lateral abscess, or parietal abscess), is a localized collection of pus (i.e. an abscess) within the tissues of the periodontium.
Cementicle
A cementicle is a small, spherical or ovoid calcified mass embedded within or attached to the cementum layer on the root surface of a tooth, or lying free within the periodontal ligament.
