What is periodontal disease?
What is periodontal disease?
Any group of inflammatory and microbial infections diseases affecting the gingiva and supporting teeth; consists of gingivitis and periodontitis.
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gingival tissues (does not involve attachment apparatus), while periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth.

Study Notes
Periodontal Disease Overview
- Periodontal disease includes inflammatory and microbial infections affecting the gingiva and supporting teeth, comprising gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gingivitis vs. Periodontitis
- Gingivitis: Inflammation of gingival tissues; does not affect attachment apparatus.
- Periodontitis: Inflammatory disease involving supportive tissues of teeth, resulting in attachment loss.
Causes of Pocket Depth Increase
- Pocket depth can increase due to pseudopockets or periodontal pockets.
Pseudopocket
- Characterized by tissue enlargement without bone loss.
- Sulcus deepens due to increased bulk of gingiva.
Periodontal Pocket
- Associated with tissue destruction and bone loss.
- Divided into suprabony and infrabony pockets.
Suprabony vs. Infrabony Pockets
- Suprabony Pockets: Base is coronal to the alveolar bone crest; typically results from horizontal bone loss.
- Infrabony Pockets: Base is located below the alveolar bone crest; indicates vertical bone loss.
ADA Disease Classifications
- ADA I: Gingivitis
- ADA II: Early Periodontitis
- ADA III: Moderate Periodontitis
- ADA IV: Advanced Periodontitis
ADA Case Type I: Gingivitis
- Alveolar crest positioned 1-2mm from CEJ.
- Probing depth ranges from 1-3mm.
- No bone loss or clinical attachment loss; variations classified as early, moderate, and severe.
ADA Case Type II: Early Periodontitis
- Alveolar crest 3-4mm from CEJ.
- Probing depth approximately 4mm.
- Horizontal bone loss; clinical attachment loss of 1-2mm.
ADA Case Type III: Moderate Periodontitis
- Alveolar crest 5-6mm from CEJ.
- Probing depth between 5-6mm.
- Presence of bone loss; clinical attachment loss of 3-4mm.
Attachment Level for Recession
- Attachment level is calculated by summing the probing depth and the measurement of recession.
ADA Case Type IV: Advanced Periodontitis
- Alveolar crest is 7mm or more from CEJ.
- Probing depths of 7mm or greater.
- Significant bone loss and clinical attachment loss of 5mm or more.
