    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Periodontology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Tooth brushing can cause gingival lesions.
    • Some gingival ulcers present with chronic, non-healing characteristics.
    • Distinguishing these from simple traumatic ulcers is clinically important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical features of gingival ulcers resulting from tooth brushing.
    • To propose a designation for these specific lesions.
    • To recommend a treatment approach for these ulcers.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of 13 patients with gingival ulcers attributed to tooth brushing.
    • Clinical observation of lesion characteristics and duration.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified 13 patients with gingival ulcers linked to tooth brushing.
    • Lesions exhibited chronic courses, averaging 6.5 months in duration.
    • Proposed designation: traumatic ulcerative gingival lesion.

    Conclusions:

    • Gingival ulcers caused by tooth brushing can be chronic and distinct from simple trauma.
    • Cessation of tooth brushing for two weeks combined with chlorhexidine mouthrinses is an effective treatment.
    • The term 'traumatic ulcerative gingival lesion' is suggested for these specific findings.
