It primarily affects the oral cavity, most commonly involving young adults or individuals compromised by severe psychological stress, tobacco use, poor oral hygiene, malnutrition, or immunosuppression Pathophysiologically driven by an opportunistic proliferation of anaerobic bacteria and spirochetes, the condition is clinically defined by "punched-out" crater-like ulcerations of the interdental papillae, spontaneous gingival bleeding, pseudomembrane formation, severe halitosis, and occasionally ...
