Abstract:
Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis (NUG) is a severe acute form of periodontal diseases. It is characterized by a rapid onset of interdental gingival necrosis, gingival bleeding and gingival pain. Other systemic factors such as malaise, fever and lymphadenopathy can also be found. The establishment of a rapid diagnosis is very important in order to avoid complications. The treatment of NUG is organized in successive steps and predisposing factors should be taken into account in order to obtain stable outcomes. The present case report describes the diagnosis approach and the treatment of NUG in a 21-year-old female patient.
