how to treat linear gingival erythema?
Oral health care providers should treat LGE promptly before it evolves into a more severe form of periodontal disease.
Oral health care providers should treat LGE with superficial debridement of affected tissue and antimicrobial rinse and schedule a follow-up appointment to determine if the patient is responding to treatment. Severe forms of periodontal disease are frequent in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Linear gingival erythema (LGE) is a progressive disease described in HIV-positive patients and is considered to be an early stage of necrotizing periodontitis. Although clinical and microbiological differences are reported in LGE and non-specific gingivitis (NSG), a comparative immunopathological approach of both has not been performed yet. The purpose of this study was to compare relative populations of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and IgG bearing plasma cells in gingival biopsies from sites exhibiting LGE and from sites exhibiting NSG. A biotin-streptavidin amplified system was used for identification of the following antigens: CD3 (T-lymphocytes), CD20 (B-lymphocytes), elastase (neutrophils), CD68 (macrophages) and IgG (plasma cell's secretors of IgG). The results have demonstrated decrease proportions of T-lymphocytes, macrophages and high percentage of neutrophils and IgG bearing plasma cells in LGE. In contrast with NSG, many neutrophils cells in LGE were found inside oral gingival epithelium. Our results highlight the idea that progressive periodontal disease is not only characterized by increased tissue inflammation, but, in addition, by significant changes in the proportion of specific inflammatory cells. The high number of neutrophils along the gingival epithelium is probably associated with the severe gingival necrosis reported in AIDS patients
