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
