Abstract
Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is an uncommon benign gingival condition characterized by sharply defined erythematous and oedematous gingival lesions, often extending to the mucogingival junction. This hypersensitivity reaction presents as diffuse, papillary gingival inflammation, prone to bleeding upon minimal trauma. Histologically, PCG manifests as a dense infiltration of normal plasma cells within collagenous stroma, typically localized to the free and attached gingiva. The primary management approach involves identification and avoidance of the allergen source, alongside nonsurgical periodontal therapy. We report a 26-years-old female patient diagnosed clinically as plasma cell gingivitis and confirmed histologically. Surgical treatment along with pharmacological interventions resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment approaches in managing plasma cell gingivitis.
