Gingivitis, also known as ulitis, is a non-destructive disease that causes inflammation of the gums. The most common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease, is in response to bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) that are attached to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis. Most forms of gingivitis are plaque-induced.
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums caused most commonly by bacterial buildup (plaque) on tooth surfaces. It matters because it's the most common form of gum disease, though it doesn't permanently damage the gums like more severe periodontal diseases can.

Although gingivitis does not always progress to periodontitis, periodontitis is always preceded by gingivitis.
