Study Notes
Periodontal Health, Gingival Diseases, and Conditions
- Includes a range of health statuses from full periodontal health to various diseases and conditions affecting the gums and periodontium.
Periodontitis
- A serious gum infection leading to the destruction of the tooth-supporting bone.
- Classified based on severity, extent, and specific characteristics.
Other Conditions Affecting the Periodontium
- Encompasses various conditions that can have an impact on periodontal health beyond typical diseases.
Periodontal Health and Gingival Health
- Defined by the absence of clinically detectable inflammatory disease.
- Both conditions reflect the status of periodontal tissues and their supportive health.
Gingivitis: Dental Biofilm Induced
- An early form of periodontal disease triggered primarily by dental plaque accumulation.
- Characterized by inflammation and redness of the gums.
Gingival Diseases: Non-Dental Biofilm-Induced
- Includes conditions not primarily caused by microbes in dental biofilm.
- Examples are allergic reactions or autoimmune diseases affecting the gums.
Necrotizing Periodontal Disease
- A severe, rapidly progressing form of periodontal disease with tissue necrosis.
- Common indicators include ulceration, necrosis of the periodontal ligaments, and severe pain.
Periodontitis (Subgroup)
- Categorizes periodontitis based on specific features or conditions such as chronic vs. aggressive forms.
Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease
- Highlights the relationship between systemic health issues (like diabetes or heart disease) and periodontal disease.
Systemic Diseases or Conditions Affecting the Periodontal Supporting Tissues
- Identifies the impact that systemic diseases have on the health and integrity of periodontal tissues.
Periodontal Abscesses and Endodontic-Periodontal Lesions
- Periodontal abscesses occur due to infection and can lead to localized swelling and pain.
- Endodontic-periodontal lesions involve interrelated diseases from dental pulp and periodontal tissues.
Mucogingival Deformities and Conditions
- Refers to anatomical issues that affect the positioning and shape of the gums, impacting function and aesthetics.
Traumatic Occlusal Forces
- Forces that result from misaligned bites or jaw movements, potentially damaging periodontal tissues.
Tooth and Prosthesis Related Factors
- Factors from existing teeth or dental prostheses that can influence periodontal health, including improper fitting or materials used.
Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions
- Classification of issues specifically involving dental implants and surrounding tissues.
Peri-Implant Health
- Similar to periodontal health, characterized by the absence of disease in the tissues surrounding dental implants.
Peri-Implant Mucositis
- Inflammation of the mucosal tissues around an implant, considered a reversible form of peri-implant disease.
Peri-Implantitis
- A more severe condition affecting implant sites, characterized by inflammatory responses leading to bone loss.
Peri-Implant Soft and Hard Tissue Deficiencies
- Identifies conditions involving insufficient soft tissue or bone surrounding implants, affecting the overall success and aesthetics of dental implants.
