Abstract

In the oral cavity, the most frequent gum diseases are those of the mucous type, but also those that are less often correctly diagnosed. In fact, many of them appear in a completely similar way and are morphologically difficult to distinguish, even when they are determined by various factors, different in etiology and pathogenesis. We present a case of atypical gingival swelling unrelated to plaque and tartar, successfully treated in the long term with the probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri).
