DEFINITION
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) is a non-contagious anaerobic inflammatory destructive disease of the gingiva which is associated with overwhelming proliferation of Borrelia vincenti and fusiform bacteria presenting characteristic signs and symptoms.

EPIDEMIOLOGY & PREVALANCE
• Often occurs in groups in an epidemic pattern.
• The prevalence of ANUG appears to have been rather low in United States and Europe prior to 1914.
• The incidence of ANUG was reported as 0.08% in patients 15 to 19 years old, 0.05% in those 20 to 24 years old, and 0.02% in persons 25 to 29 years old.
![Page 5: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• In India, 54% and 58% of the patients in two studies were under age 10.
• Age group affected 18-30 years.
• Not common in children.
• Reported in children from low socio-economic groups in underdeveloped countries.
![Page 6: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• It has been reported in several members of the same family in low socio-economic groups.
• More common in children with Down’s syndrome than in children with mental deficiencies.

TYPES
According to Pindborg J (1951)-classified into 3 forms:
AcuteSubacuteChronic (Now considered misidentification of
recurrence of the disease).
![Page 8: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ETIOLOGY
Plaut in 1894 and Vincent in 1896 first proposed this bacterial etiology.
They both reported that fusiform-spirochete bacteria flora were associated with lesions of NUG.
ROLE OF BACTERIA
![Page 9: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Roseburry described a fusospirochetal complex consisting of T. macrodentium, intermediate spirochetes, vibrios, fusiform bacilli, and filamentous organisms in addition to several Borrelia species.
![Page 10: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• More recently Loesch and Colleagues described a constant flora and a variable flora associated with ANUG. The constant flora is composed of fusospirochetal organisms and also bacteriodes melaninogenicus subspecies. The variable flora consists of heterogeneous array of bacterial types
![Page 11: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Pre-existing gingivitis,
• Injury to the gingiva, and smoking.
Although ANUG may appear in an otherwise disease free mouth, it most often occurs superimposed on preexisting chronic gingival disease and periodontal pockets.
Deep periodontal pockets and pericoronal flaps Areas of the gingiva traumatized by opposing teeth in
malocclusion
LOCAL PREDISPOSING FACTORS
![Page 12: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nutritional Deficiency: This results in marked tissue depletion of key antioxidant nutrients, & impaired acute-phase protein response to infections.
• Other features include, Inverted helper/T-cell ratio, Histaminemia, hormonal imbalance blood & saliva levels of free cortisol Defective mucosal integrity.
• Deficient macro & micro nutrients, hence poor prognosis of such infections.
SYSTEMIC PREDISPOSING FACTORS
![Page 13: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Debilitating Disease: Systemic disease that impair immunity cause ANUG.
• Disease that predispose to ANUG are
Chronic diseases such as syphilis, cancer Severe gastrointestinal disorders (ulcerative colitis) Blood dyscrasias (Leukemia and anemias) A.I.D.S. Nutritional deficiencies resulting from debilitating disease
may be additional predisposing factor.
![Page 14: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Psychosomatic Factors• During periods of psychological stress, oral hygiene measures
may decrease, nutrition may become inadequate, tobacco smoking may increase and immune function may be suppressed. Stressful life events may lead to an activation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, resulting in an elevation of serum and urine corticosteroid levels.
![Page 15: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The specific cause of Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis has not been established. The prevalent opinion is that it is produced by a complex of bacterial organisms but requires underlying tissue changes to facilitate the pathogenic activity of the bacteria.
![Page 18: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CLINICAL COURSE
• Indefinite.
• Left untreated, it may lead to Necrotizing ulcerative Periodontitis with a progressive destruction of the periodontium and denudation of the roots, accompanied by an increase in the severity of toxic systemic complications.
![Page 19: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Horning and Cohen 1995
STAGE 1: Necrosis of tip of Inter dental papilla STAGE 2: Necrosis of entire papilla STAGE 3: Necrosis extending to the gingival margin STAGE 4: Necrosis extending to Attached gingiva STAGE 5: Necrosis into Buccal/Labial Mucosa STAGE 6: Necrosis exposing Alveolar Bone STAGE 7: Necrosis perforating skin of cheek
![Page 20: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Stage 1=NUG, • Stage 2 = either NUG or NUP because attachment
loss may have occurred, • Stages 3 and 4 = NUP,• Stages 5 and 6 = Necrotizing Stomatitis, and • Stage 7 = Noma.
![Page 21: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ORAL SIGNS
• Punched out crater like depressions at the crest of interdental papillae,extending to the marginal gingiva.
• Grayish pseudo-membrane slough covering the craters.
• Spontaenous bleeding on slightest stimulation.
![Page 22: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Fetid odor• Increased pasty saliva.• Metallic foul taste.• Extreme sensitive to touch.
![Page 23: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SYSTEMIC SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
• Mild moderate stages – local lymphodenopathy, slight elevation in temperature.
• Severe cases – high fever, increased pulse rate, loss of appetite.
• Rarely – sequel such as noma.
![Page 24: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• NUG should be differentiated from other conditions that resemble it in some respects such as:
Herpetic gingivostomatitisChronic periodontitisDesquamative gingivitisStreptococcal gingivostomatitisDiphtheritic and syphilitic lesionsAgranulocytosis.
![Page 25: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DIAGNOSIS
• Diagnosis is based on clinical findings.
• A bacterial smear may be used to corroborate the clinical diagnosis, but it is not necessary nor definitive because the bacterial picture is not appreciably different from the other conditions (Gingivitis, periodontal pockets etc).
![Page 26: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
TREATMENT
• Alleviation of the acute inflammation.• Treatment of chronic disease either underlying the acute
involvement or else where in the oral cavity.• Alleviation of generalized toxic symptoms such as fever
or malaise.• Correction of systemic conditions that contribute to the
initiation or progress of the gingival changes.
![Page 27: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Treatment should follow an orderly sequence and is divided into treatment for
1. Non-ambulatory patient: With symptoms of generalized systemic complications.
2. Ambulatory patient: With no serious systemic complications
![Page 28: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Non-Ambulatory Patients
• Day 1:
• Local treatment limited to gently removing the necrotic pseudomembrane with a pellet of cotton saturated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
• Advised bed rest and rinse the mouth every 2 hours with a diluted 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.
• Systemic antibiotics like penicillin or metronidazole can be prescribed.
![Page 29: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Day 2:
If condition is improved, proceed to the treatment described for ambulatory patients. If there is no improvement at the end of the 24 hours, a bedside visit should be made. The treatment again includes gently swab the area with hydrogen peroxide, instructions of the previous day are repeated.
• Day 3:
Most cases, the condition will be improved, start the treatment for ambulatory patients.
![Page 30: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ambulatory Patients
• First visit:
Clinician should obtain a general impression of the patient’s background, including information regarding recent illness, living conditions, dietary background, type of employment, hours of rest and mental stress.
Patient’s general appearance should be observed, apparent nutritional status and responsiveness or lassitude, and temperature noted.
Sub Maxillary and Sub Mental lymph nodes palpated. Oral cavity examined for characteristic lesion of NUG, it’s
distribution and possible involvement of the orpharyngeal region.
![Page 31: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Oral hygiene evaluated, presence of pericoronal flaps, periodontal pockets and local irritants determined.
Patient questioned regarding history of the acute disease and its onset and duration, recurrence; previous treatment - how long, type of treatment.
Initial treatment confined to acutely involved areas, which are isolated with cotton rolls and dried.
Topical anesthesia applied and area gently swabbed with a cotton pellet to remove the pseudo membrane and non-attached surface debris.
![Page 32: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Area cleansed with warm water, superficial calculus is removed.
Subgingival scaling and curettage contraindicated to prevent extension of infection to deeper tissues and also bacteremia.
Unless an emergency exists, extractions or periodontal surgery are postponed until the patient has been symptom free for a period of 4 weeks to minimize likelihood of exacerbation.
![Page 33: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Patients with moderate or severe NUG and local lymphadenopathy or other systemic symptoms are placed on an antibiotic regimen of Penicillin (500mg 6th hourly);
Metronidazole 500mg bid 7 days is also effective. Antibiotics continued until systemic complications
subside.
![Page 34: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
INSTRUCTIONS AFTER FIRST VISIT
• Avoid tobacco, alcohol and condiments.• Rinse with a glassful of an equal mixture of 3% H2O2
and warm water every 2 hours and/or twice daily with 0.12% chlorhexidene solution.
• Avoid excessive physical exertion or prolonged exposure to the sun.
• Confine tooth brushing to the removal of surface debris with a bland dentifrice; over zealous brushing and the use of dental floss or interdental cleaners will be painful.
![Page 35: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Second visit:1 to 2 days later, the patient’s condition is usually
improved; pain diminished or no longer present.Gingival margins of the involved areas are
erythematous, but without a superficial pseudo membrane.
Scaling performed if sensitivity permits. Instructions as same as above.
![Page 36: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Third visit:1 to 2 days after the second visit, patient
should be essentially symptom free.Scaling and root planing repeated.Instructed in plaque control procedures.H2O2 rinses discontinued; chlorhexidene rinses
maintained for 2-3 weeks.
![Page 37: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Fourth visit:Oral hygiene instructions are reinforced and thorough
scaling and root planing are performed.
• Fifth visit:Appointments are fixed for treatment of chronic
gingivitis, periodontal pockets and pericoronal flaps, and for the elimination of all local irritants. Patient is placed on maintenance programme.
![Page 38: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Gingival Changes With Healing
• Removal of surface pseudo membrane exposes the underlying red, hemorrhagic, craterlike depressions in the gingival.
• In the next stage, the bulk and redness of the crater margins are reduced, but the surface remains shiny.
• Early signs of restoration of normal gingival contour and color follow this.
• Final stage: normal gingival color, consistency, surface texture and contour are restored. Portions of the root exposed by the acute disease are covered by healthy gingiva.
![Page 39: NECROTIZING ULCERATIVE GINGIVITIS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56812d74550346895d92895d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
CONCLUSION
• Local procedures are the keystones of the treatment of necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.
• Inflammation is a local conditioning factor that impairs the nutrition of the gingiva regardless of the systemic nutritional status.
• Local irritants should be eliminated to foster normal metabolic and reparative processes in the gingival.
• Persistent or recurrent Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is more likely to be caused by the failure to remove local irritants and by inadequate plaque control than by nutritional deficiency.
