Abstract

Ulcerative inflammation of the gingiva or gingivo-parodontitis as some authors prefer to call it, is an acute disease requiring immediate attention, since with every new attack of this diseases destruction of the deeper parts of the parodontium occurs. The marked clinical picture of this disease is easily recognized. The normal configuration of the gingiva is lost due to the ulcerating process. The interdental papillae disappear and niches or negative papillae may form in the interdental spaces. Such a gingiva presents the site of predilection for the forming of dental plaque and the assumption is therefore justified that the niche plays a cardinal role in the progression into the deeper parts of the parodontium of the inflammatory process.
