Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare benign condition of the gingiva. It is marked by a dense infiltrate of normal plasma cells separated into aggregates by strands of collagen. It is a hypersensitivity reaction to some antigen, often flavorings or spices. The importance of this lesion is that it may cause severe gingival inflammation, discomfort, and bleeding and may mimic more serious conditions. Plaque control and conventional periodontal therapy alone will not cure this disease. The etiologic agent must be identified and the substance eliminated from use. This report outlines a case of plasma cell gingivitis which may have been brought on by the use of red peppers in cooking.
浆细胞性龈炎是一种罕见的牙龈良性病变。其特征为正常浆细胞密集浸润，被胶原束分隔成聚集体。它是对某些抗原的超敏反应，通常是香料或调味品。这种病变的重要性在于它可能导致严重的牙龈炎症、不适和出血，并且可能类似更严重的病症。仅靠菌斑控制和传统的牙周治疗无法治愈这种疾病。必须识别出病因并停止使用相关物质。本报告概述了一例可能因烹饪中使用红辣椒而引发的浆细胞性龈炎病例。
