چکیده
Gingival lesions not induced by plaque are common and can help explain the many different periodontal tissue reactions observed. Gingival inflammation sometimes differs from that of routine plaque-associated gingival diseases and often presents distinctive clinical features. (Holmstrup, 1999a).

Traumatic tooth brushing and allergic reactions to drugs are other possible causes.
