(Underneath Non-plaque-induced)

Non-plaque-induced gingival disease is an inflammation of the gingiva that does not result from dental plaque, but from other gingival diseases caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or genetic sources.[1] Although this gingival disease is less common than those which are plaque-induced, it can have a serious impact on the patient's overall health. [2] Inflammation can also be caused by allergic reactions to materials used in dental restorations, specific toothpastes, mouthwashes, and even some foods. Trauma, reactions to foreign bodies, or toxic reactions can also contribute to this non-plaque-induced gingivitis.[3] Furthermore, genetics can play a significant role. Specifically, hereditary gingival fibromatosis is known to cause non-plaque-induced gingival lesions.[4] However, sometimes, there is no specific cause for this form of gingival disease.[5]
