title: Plasma cell gingivitis related to the use of herbal toothpaste.
abstract: Plasma cell gingivitis is an uncommon condition, characterised by a sharply demarcated, erythematous and oedematous gingivitis, often extending to the mucogingival junction. The condition is generally considered to be a manifestation of hypersensitivity, but often no antigenic agent can be identified. This report describes a case of plasma cell gingivitis, apparently associated with the use of a herbal toothpaste.
