Plaque-induced gingivitis on reduced periodontium occurs…

when gingival inflammation develops in a patient with previous history of periodontitis who has stable attachment levels after successful therapy.

New cards

Pathogenesis

  • Patient previously experienced attachment and bone loss.

  • Periodontal therapy halted the disease progression, leaving stable but reduced periodontium.

  • If plaque accumulates due to poor oral hygiene, reversible gingival inflammation can occur without any further attachment loss.

This condition highlights…

the need for lifelong maintenance in previously periodontitis-affected patients and reinforcement of oral hygiene to prevent recurrence of active disease.
