 Periodontal infections are a group
of diseases that, located in the gums and
supporting structures of the tooth (ligament and bone
alveolar), are produced by certain bacteria from the subgingiva plaque

These bacteria play an important role in the

onset and subsequent development of
periodontitis
participating in the formation of the
periodontal pocket,
destruction of connective tissue and
reabsorption of the especially due to increased
resistance
from biofilms to antimicrobial agents

Therefore, the
periodontopathogenic bacterial microbiota is necessary but
not sufficient for disease to exist,
the presence of a susceptible host being necessary
There are epidemiological studies that
have PLAQUE-INDUCED GINGIVAL
demonstrated a significant association DISEASES
between the severity of periodontal
diseases, the amount gingivitis
of dental plaque and the degree of Plaque-induced inflammation of the
oral hygiene, there being a cause- gums
effect relationship between the due to the localization of bacteria
formation and the in the margin
accumulation of dental plaque and the
development of gingivitis. Gingivitis associated with puberty
shares most of the clinical signs of
plaque-induced gingivitis but their main difference is
based on the high propensity to develop
frank signs of gingival inflammation in the presence
of relatively small amounts of plaque bacteria during the
circumpubertal period. During the
puberty a series of endocrine changes occurs
characterized by the elevation of the levels of
steroid hormones in the blood and what will be the
responsible for the state of inflammation of the gum
Pregnancy-associated gingivitis
is a proliferative, vascular, and
nonspecific inflammation with a
large infiltrate.
cell inflammation. Clinically it
is characterized by
an intensely red gingiva that
bleeds easily, thickening of the
gingival margin, hyperplasia of
the interdental papillae which
may lead to
to the appearance of
pseudopockets
In gingivitis associated with
diabetes mellitus, the level of
diabetic control is more important
than plaque control in the
severity of gingival inflammation.
This type of gingivitis usually
occurs in children with diabetes
poorly controlled type I mellitus
 Chronic periodontitis
Characteristic clinical signs of periodontitis
include clinical attachment loss, loss of
alveolar bone, periodontal pocket formation and
gum inflammation. To this can be associated a
gingival overgrowth or recession, bleeding
probing, increased dental mobility, suppuration,
may lead to tooth loss. In cases of
chronic periodontitis infection progresses slowly
continuous or in peaks of activity
