An Overview Of Treatment Of Gingivitis In Child, Role Of Dentist And Pharmacist In Management

Abstract

It is possible to effectively treat the inflammatory components of plaque-induced gingivitis and chronic periodontitis for the majority of patients by implementing a plaque management program, performing nonsurgical and/or surgical root debridement, and continuing to perform periodontal maintenance operations. Depending on the condition, more treatment procedures can be required. It is possible for the clinician to make use of all of the therapeutic modalities that have been discussed in this position paper at various points in time during the long-term management of the patient's periodontal health. This brings up the role of the physician in conjunction with the dentist in the management of gingivitis in juvenile patients.
