- Infective gingivitis has local and systemic underlying causes.
- Local factors include hyposalivation, mouth breathing, heavy smoking, alcoholism, and substance abuse.
- Infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses can also cause gingivitis.
- Systemic factors include immunocompromised or immunosuppression, hormone level alteration, malnutrition, recent illness, stress, and inadequate sleep.
- Hematological malignancy can mimic chronic hyperplastic gingivitis and requires CBCD results for evidence and referral for treatment.
- Phenytoin and drug-related gingival hyperplasia have specific clinical presentations and etiologies.
