Desquamative gingivitis



Desquamative gingivitis is a clinical term used to describe the appearance of many different diseases. It is associated with the oral manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris, cicatricial pemphigoid, erosive lichen planus, and chronic ulcerative stomatitis.

Desquamative gingivitis is characterized by an erythematous, erosive, vesiculobullous and/or desquamative state of the free and attached gingiva. While many diseases have been associated with it, the majority of causes are dermatologic. Topical steroids are effective in treating the oral lesions.
