Why it matters for dental
Periodontists and general dentists now have a single systematic synthesis of the non-plaque gingival diseases that can mimic or coexist with periodontitis; knowing these differentials protects diagnostic accuracy and prevents unnecessary periodontal surgery or antibiotic courses.
Key points
- Part I of the review covers genetic/developmental disorders, specific infections, reactive processes, endocrine-nutritional-metabolic diseases, and traumatic lesions that present as gingival pathology.
- Journal of Clinical Periodontology (EarlyView) publication date not stated; systematic review methodology follows PRISMA standards.
- Target readers include periodontists, oral-medicine specialists, and any clinician who diagnoses or manages gingival lesions beyond plaque-induced gingivitis.
- No effective date or implementation timeline is provided; the paper supplies evidence grades and clinical descriptors rather than regulatory mandates.
