Etiology, Epidemiology, Patho Physiology, Diagnosis, Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Gingivitis

Bacterial infections are the most prevalent cause of gingivitis, an inflammatory disease of gingival tissue.

This exercise describes how to assess and treat gingivitis and emphasizes the importance of the interprofessional team in treating individuals who also have this problem.
