Resumen
PALACIOS-SANCHEZ, Begoña; CERERO-LAPIEDRA, Rocío; CAMPO-TRAPERO, Julián y ESPARZA-GOMEZ, Germán C.. Non-plaque related gingival conditions. RCOE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.1, pp.43-55. ISSN 1138-123X.
Dental plaque remains the main aetiological factor of gingival diseases; nevertheless, a number of gingival lesions could be the expression of other, non-plaque related entities. The aim of this paper is to perform a review and underscore the importance of some of these diseases, since they can be an early and useful sign in order to establish an accurate diagnosis. The main entities are: gingival lesions related to mucocutaneous diseases, gingival lesions related to hormonal levels, gingival alterations produced by pharmacological treatments, gingival lesions produced by viral infections, gingival alterations related to haematological disorders and, finally, gingival alterations of genetic origin such as gingival fibromatosis.
