, Gingivitis is called inflammation of gums and may contribute to pain and bleeding. Bacteria

colonize the gingival space if the plaque accumulates on the teeth. The atmosphere becomes

anaerobic with this area becoming gradually blocked. This allows for the invasion of several

microbes including Porphyromonas, Streptococcus, and Actinomyces. Lipopolysaccharide

(LPS), proteases, lipoteichoic acids, and others trigger inflammation and damage to the gum.

Methanogenic archaeans (including Methanobrevibacter oralis and other Methanobrevibacter

organisms) can also lead to the progression of the disease since certain species have been

reported in patients with periodontal diseases, however, that has not proven simple to research.

Visual evaluation of gingivitis including gum pockets and x-rays is diagnosed, and typical

procedures are done with adequate oral care and competent dental washing, with antibiotics

reserved for serious cases.
