Desquamative Gingivitis describe a peculiar condition characterized by intense erythema, desquamation and ulceration of the free and attached gingiva
desquamative gingivitis is not a specific disease entity, but a gingival response associated with a variety of conditions

Clinical Features • Females are more frequently affected. • Buccal aspect of anterior gingiva most commonly affected. • The gingiva is fiery red, friable and desquamates easily • Patients complain of soreness, especially when eating spicy or acidic food, and of bleeding and discomfort with toothbrushing. • Lesions get aggravated by local plaque accumulation. • A positive Nikolsky’s sign where the surface epithelium “floats away” when lateral pressure is applied to the mucosa, may indicate vesiculobullous disorders • The presence of white plaques or white striae indicate lichen planus
Dr Jaffar Raza Syed Page 5
Etiology • The etiology is unclear • Mainly affects women at middle and advanced age Symptoms • Warmth, tenseness, tingling, itchiness, burning, and pain. • Erythema and edema of the marginal and attached gingiva are clinically Observed predominantly in the frontal areas. Signs • Desquamation of the epitelium with painfull erosive lesions and sometimes formation of hemorrhagic bullae by pressing.
Dr Jaffar Raza Syed Page 6
Diagnosis • Detailed clinical examination of the oral and perioral lesions • Biopsy (perilesional) • Biopsy for direct immunofluorescence and with indirect immunofluorescence of the serum

Summary of diagnostic procedure
CLINICAL HISTORY
(data regarding the symptoms & historical aspect is collected & information about previous therapy is also collected )
CLINICAL EXAMINATION(recognition of the pattern of distribution of lesion & performing Nikolsky’ssign)
BIOPSY
[ Either incisional or perilesional]
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION IMMUNOFLORESENCE
Dr Jaffar Raza Syed Page 8
Management • Plaque control: Oral Hygiene, education • Avoid stimulants, e.g spicy foods… • Identify and manage the cause • Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for lichen planus and MMP And should be applied directly onto the affected gingiva. • Systemic corticosteroids are needed for pemphigus • Treat • Collaborate with other clinicians • Refer

Treatment
Corticosteroids Topical application and local injection of steroids
topical steroid such as 0.05 percent Fluocinolone acetonide
triamcinolone acetonide (10 to 20 mg) Other treatment modalities are
retinoids,
hydroxychloroquine,
cyclosporine and
free gingival grafts.
Addition of antifungal therapy
Topical application and local injection of steroids
