ABSTRACT
Necrotizing periodontal disease is an infection characterized by gingival necrosis, pain and gingival bleeding. Spirochetes are pathogens usually involved in acute necrotizing gingivitis. Predisposing factors are tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, poor diet, inmunosupression, specially in HIV infected patients, emotional stress and preexisting gingivitis. We present a 38-year-old man with gingival and upper lip lesiones, successfully treated with metronidazole and spiramycin.
