How many days does the early lesion of gingivitis last?

  1. 2-3 days

  2. 4-7 days

  3. 10-14 days

  4. 14-21 days

The correct answer is: 4-7 days

The early lesion of gingivitis typically lasts 4-7 days. Option A is incorrect because it is too short of a duration and does not allow enough time for inflammation to develop. Options C and D are incorrect because they are too long of a duration and suggest a more advanced stage of gingivitis. It is important to catch and treat the early lesion of gingivitis to prevent progression to a more severe form of gum disease. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it is the most accurate estimate.
