CLINICAL COURSE OF GINGIVITIS IN SCHOOLCHILDREN ACROSS DIFFERENT AGE PERIODS

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues remain one of the most widespread problems in modern dentistry, especially among children and adolescents. Gingivitis, as the earliest and most reversible form of periodontal pathology, is of particular importance due to its high prevalence, tendency to progression, and risk of transition into more severe forms of periodontal disease if left untreated.
