Other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge - what does this mean

Other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge occur when the gingiva, or gums, and the alveolar ridge, the area of the jawbone that supports the teeth, become diseased or damaged due to a variety of causes, such as trauma, infection, or poor oral hygiene. these conditions can lead to inflammation, pain, and other symptoms that can affect the overall health of the mouth.

What happens during the disease - other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge

Other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge are caused by a variety of factors, such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, systemic diseases, trauma, and certain medications. these can lead to an increase in inflammation, which can cause periodontal disease and the breakdown of the alveolar ridge, leading to a loss of bone support for the teeth. this can lead to loosening and eventual loss of the teeth, as well as changes in the appearance of the gingiva.
