Gingival Abscess: Causes and Treatment by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A gingival abscess is a localized purulent infection in the marginal gum or interdental papilla, usually caused by foreign objects such as seeds or bristles from a toothbrush. It presents with edema, suppuration, pulsating pain, and localized redness. Treatment involves anesthesia, incision for drainage, cleaning with saline solution, and a dressing for a week, with good results after follow-up. It is necessary to differentiate it from other abscesses for an adequate diagnosis and treatment.
