Answer
These diseases are not caused by plaque These diseases do not disappear after plaque removal   Non-Plaque Induced Gingival Diseases  
🗑
Caused by Treponema pallidum   Syphilis  
🗑
The organism is transmitted usually by direct contact This organism looks for a break in the skin in which to enter the tissues   Syphilis  
🗑
Usually transmitted through sexual contact with skin or mucous membranes but may be transmitted through blood transfusion, or transplacental from mother to fetus   Syphilis  
🗑
