Gingival and edentulous alveolar ridge lesions associated with trauma - what does this mean
Gingival and edentulous alveolar ridge lesions associated with trauma occur when the trauma of a blow or fall causes a break in the gingiva or the underlying bone of the alveolar ridge, resulting in lesions that can be painful and cause difficulty in eating and speaking. in more severe cases, the lesion can lead to infection and further bone loss.
What happens during the disease - gingival and edentulous alveolar ridge lesions associated with trauma
Gingival and edentulous alveolar ridge lesions associated with trauma are caused by physical damage to the periodontal ligaments and bone, leading to the destruction of the supportive structures of the teeth. this can be caused by direct trauma, such as a blow to the face, or indirect trauma, such as clenching or grinding of the teeth. this trauma can cause inflammation, infection, and a breakdown of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, resulting in the formation of lesions in the gingiva and alveolar ridge.
