Abstract
A concept of desquamative gingivitis has been expressed. The condition probably is
a reflection, clinically, of a variety of etiologic factors—both local and somatic
in origin; in the majority of cases these influences cannot be elicited with clarity,
and it is necessary to direct therapy to local alleviation of the gingival manifestations.
The topical administration of triamcinolone acetate in Orabase constituted an effective
form of therapy. The histopathologic characteristics of desquamative gingivitis include
the detachment of epithelium, either intra- or subepithelially, with a variably severe
connective tissue inflammatory reaction; it is difficult to collate this response
to a specific etiologic agent.
