'''Diagnostic Imaging'''

Oral radiographs should be taken to rule out concurrent conditions. One such condition is periodontitis which is demonstrated radiographically by alveolar bone loss associated with pocket formation between the tooth crown and gingiva.

'''Biopsy'''

Biopsy samples should include those areas of [[Gingiva Introduction|gingiva]] that show signs of inflammation with a softer than normal texture. Any gingiva with radiographic signs of bone involvement should also be sampled.
