Study Notes

Purpose of Periodontal Classification Systems

  • Facilitate communication of clinical findings among dental professionals.
  • Present treatment information effectively to patients.
  • Aid in formulating comprehensive treatment plans.
  • Predict treatment outcomes accurately.

AAP Classification

  • AAP stands for the American Academy of Periodontology.
  • The classification system categorizes periodontal diseases into two main types: gingivitis and periodontitis.

Types of Periodontal Disease

  • Gingivitis: Inflammation confined to gingival tissues and is reversible.
  • Periodontitis: Inflammation affecting the periodontium, known to be irreversible.

Periodontium Structures

  • Comprises four key structures: gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum.

AAP Classification Development

  • The current AAP classification was developed in 1999.
  • It includes a total of eight categories:
    • Gingival diseases
    • Chronic periodontitis
    • Aggressive periodontitis
    • Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases
    • Necrotizing periodontal diseases
    • Abscesses of the periodontium
    • Periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions
    • Developmental or acquired deformities and conditions

Common Forms and Influences of Gingivitis

  • Most common form of periodontitis: Chronic periodontitis.
  • Gingivitis can be plaque-induced or non-plaque induced.
  • Dental plaque-induced gingivitis can be modified by systemic factors, medications, or malnutrition.
  • Systemic factors include hormonal changes and diabetes mellitus.
  • Medications that can modify gingivitis: blood pressure medications, anti-seizure medications, and anti-rejection medications.
  • Malnutrition contributing to gingivitis is linked to vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency.

Non-Plaque Induced Gingivitis Causes

  • Associated with various conditions, including:
    • Bacterial infections (e.g., STDs)
    • Viral infections (e.g., herpes)
    • Fungal infections
    • Genetic origins
    • Trauma and reactions to foreign bodies (e.g., popcorn)
    • Other unspecified causes.

Periodontitis Features

  • Both chronic and aggressive periodontitis can be localized or generalized.
  • Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases relates to hematologic and genetic disorders.
  • Necrotizing periodontal diseases comprise necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) and necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP).
  • Abscesses of the periodontium include:
    • Gingival abscess
    • Periodontal abscess
    • Pericoronal abscess
