    Abstract

    Plasma cell gingivitis is a disorder first described in the 1960s and was believed to be caused by an allergic reaction to flavored chewing gum and toothpaste. The lesion was believed to have been largely eliminated by removing the allergens from the products. We report two additional cases, not related to a known allergen. One patient was allergy tested thoroughly and given a strict elimination diet without resolution. Immunofluorescence study suggests a reactive rather than a neoplastic process.
