Acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis(ANUG)
is an infectious disease of the gingiva causing gingival bleeding, gingival ulceration and pain.
History
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis had been recognized in the 4th century BC by Xenophon, who mentioned that Greek soldiers were affected with “sore mouth and foul smelling breath”. In 1778, Hunter described the clinical features of this disease and differentiated it from scurvy and chronic periodontitis.

ETIOLOGY
Role of bacteria
A specific infectious disease should be associated with a specific etiology. The bacterial etiology of Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis provides one of our strongest examples of a primarily bacterial etiology in a periodontal disease.
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.

DIAGNOSIS

c) Biopsy specimen
a) Clinical findings

Differential diagnosis
1. Herpetic gingivostomatitis
2. Chronic periodontitis
3. Desquamative gingivitis
4. Diphtheritic & syphilitic lesions
5. Agranulocytosis
Antimicrobial treatment recommendations
1. Amoxicillin 500 mg PO TID for 10d plus metronidazole 250 mg PO TID for 10d or
2. Amoxicillin-clavulanate 500 mg/125 mg PO TID or 875 mg/125 mg PO BID for 10d or
3. Clindamycin 150-300 mg PO TID for 10d or
4. Doxycycline 100 mg PO BID for 10d
Adjunctive therapy
1. Saline rinses can help to speed resolution; oral rinses with a hydrogen peroxide 3% solution may be of benefit
2. Chlorhexidine 0.12% oral rinse 15 mL BID
3. For (HIV)-positive patients, consider nystatin rinse 5 mL QID or fluconazole 200 mg PO daily for 7-14d
4. Patients with ANUG should be given a topical anesthetic and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), because pain control is very important in allowing the patient to perform good oral hygiene

ReplyDeleteI'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
