Show Notes
On this week's episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition your host, Katrina Sanders, RDH discusses systemic or modifying factors for patients that present with dental biofilm induced gingivitis.
Quotes:
"What we're really talking about is the fact that in addition, these individuals present with a dramatic rise in their sex steroid hormone levels during puberty."
"we look at patients that present with medication for contraception, namely patients that take over-the-counter birth control pills. These are going to be patients that will present with some type of a gingival inflammation in many cases due to the concentration of sex steroid hormones."
