    Epidemiology of necrotizing ulcerative gingival lesions in adolescents
    (Wiley, 2002) Rodrigo López; Olaya Fernández; Gisela Jara; V. B Aelum
    Our observation that reporting to be diabetic was positively associated with the presence of NUG is interesting, as diabetes has never been addressed as a possible risk factor. As the association between diabetes and periodontitis in adults is thought to relate to impaired function of neutrophils, microangiopathy, and impaired wound healing this finding suggests a significant role of the host response also for the occurrence of NUG.
