Abstract

This collection of studies examines gingivitis, detailing its multifactorial etiology including systemic, local, and behavioral risk factors, and its connection to systemic health conditions like Chronic Kidney Disease. It highlights the pivotal role of the oral microbiome and negative impacts of smoking, alongside the benefits of proper oral hygiene, antimicrobial mouthwashes, essential oils, and vitamin D supplementation for prevention and treatment. The research underscores the systemic implications of oral inflammation and the need for comprehensive approaches to improve oral and overall health.
