gingival disease, any disease of the gingivae, such as gingivitis.

The plaque-induced diseases may be associated with endocrine changes, medications, systemic disease, or malnutrition. Other causes of gingival lesions include viral infections, fungal infections, genetic predispositions, systemic conditions, allergic reactions, and traumatic lesions, among others.
