The Prevention and Treatment of Neural Arterial Gingival Simplex

Neural Arterial Gingival Simplex is a common systemic disease linked to an invasive periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis as the key initiator. Instead of considering separate pathologic conditions as separate diseases, the health community should view this disease as a single entity, to diagnose and treat accordingly. We discuss the evidence for this hypothesis and the need for definitive research. A strategy to maintain a healthy, resilient microbiome with adjunctive support by probiotics and polyols is warranted. Newer diagnostic and monitoring technologies along with many possible therapeutic agents and protocols are readily available to prevent and treat Neural Arterial Gingival Simplex.
