Pregnancy-associated gingivitis
Non-plaque-induced gingival lesions
Chronic periodontitis
Necrotizing periodontal diseases

Explanation

Answer: A - Increased plasma hormone levels in the endocrine system create pregnancy-associated gingivitis. This disease subsides during the last trimester or after delivery. It presents with no attachment loss and is not progressive like that of dental plaque-induced gingivitis. Very little bacterial plaque should be expected.
