| | Chronic gingivitis may lead to a deepening of the gingival sulcus. | | | Gingivitis may remain a chronic disease for years without affecting other periodontal tissues. | | | This form of gingivitis is characterized by painful, bleeding gums, and death (necrosis) and erosion of gingival tissue between the teeth. |

| | Final Diagnosis: Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis (ANUG) Discussion: Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis or ANUG is a distinct gingival pathologic condition that has been recognized for a few hundred years. | | | The most likely diagnosis is acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. | | | Bacillus fusiformis currently known as Fusobacterium nucleatum and a spirochete known as Borrelia vincentii are the responsible microorganisms in development of this gingival disease. |

| | Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. A review of diagnosis, etiology and treatment. |
| | Possible abnormalities in immunological function, such as altered PMN and lymphocyte responsiveness, may be present. | | | Vincent's original description of the fusiform-spirochete nature of acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) still remains true today, although much additional insight has been gained regarding the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of the disease. | | | Treatment modalities involve eliminating or reducing the levels of bacterial pathogens by mechanical and antibiotic means, along with attempts at controlling significant psychological and physical precipitating factors. |
