BACKGROUND Noma is a gangrenous disease that leads to severe disfigurement of the face with high morbidity and mortality, but its etiology remains unknown. Young children in developing countries are almost exclusively affected. The purpose of the study was to record and compare bacterial diversity in oral samples from children with or without acute noma or acute necrotizing gingivitis from a de...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa and also seen with the other oral diseases as aggressive periodontitis that is characterized by a considerable attachment loss over a short period of time. Streptococcal infections of gingiva are seen rarely; also the origin of this gingival inflammation is occasionally different from that of routine plaque-associated gi...

gingivitis is an inflammatory destructive disease mainly caused by microbial plaques. gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli or cocci have been isolated from dental plaque and gingivitis. this study was going to isolate and characterize the pathogenic bacteria from gingival of 100 patients with oral gingivitis. enriched and specific media used for isolation of bacteria. identification of isola...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that acute necrotising gingivitis precedes noma disease and that noma clusters in some villages in certain regions of low- and middle-income countries. We sought to assess the prevalence of gingivitis with bleeding in young children from villages with or without a history of noma and to analyse epidemiological differences related to sociodemographic ch...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute infection of the oral mucosa. Specific bacterial infections such as to Neisseria gonorrhea, Treponema pallidum, Streptococcal species, and others are very important, but little attention is given to these diseases because they are rarely seen. The purpose of this study was to report the case of an acute streptococcal gingivitis in a patient and to desc...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa and also may be seen with the other oral diseases as aggressive periodontitis that is characterized by a considerable attachment loss over a relatively short period of time. Streptococcal infections of gingiva are seen rarely; also the origin of this gingival inflammation is occasionally different from that of routine pl...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa. Specific bacterial infections of the gingiva may be due to neisseria gonorrhea, treponema pallidum, streptococci, and other organisms. Streptococcal infections are seen rarely. This case report describes a patient who presented with severe gingival inflammation and pain that was diagnosed as an acute streptococcal infec...
