Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NEG) is a distinct and specific form of periodontal disease. This entity represents an acute inflammatory process of the gingival tissues characterized by specific clinical symptoms associated with pain (usually rapid onset), interdental necrosis, and gingival bleeding. If one of these three symptoms is absent GUN cannot be diagnosed. This clinical case describes the diagnostic approach and conservative management with good evolution of GUN in a 14-year-old female patient without systemic disease.
