    Study Notes

    • Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the gingiva, periodontium, and bone.
    • It is most commonly associated with probe depths of 4mm or greater.
    • Gingival bleeding is a common sign and symptom of periodontitis.
    • Periodontitis is associated with bone loss and loss of periodontal tissue support.
    • Clinical attachment loss (CAL) is a common sign and symptom of periodontitis.
    • Periodontitis is often painless.
    • Periodontitis is an infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss.
    • The disease is most commonly found in adults, but can occur in children and adolescents.
    • Extent and progression of periodontitis depends on the location and severity of the disease.
    • Therapeutic goals of periodontal therapy include the elimination of bacteria and contributing factors, preservation of state health, function, and stability, and prevention of disease recurrence.
    • Refractory form of periodontitis is a condition where periodontitis has been treated unsuccessfully and the patient continues to experience tooth loss.
    • There are several treatments for refractory periodontitis, which include patient education, behavior changes, periodontal instrumentation, systemic antibiotics, and/or local antibiotics.
    • The Periodontitis Case Definition includes the presence of clinical attachment loss at two or more teeth, OR facial or lingual clinical attachment loss of 3 mm or more with pocketing greater than 3 mm.
    • Pathophysiology has shown us three distinct forms of periodontitis: necrotizing periodontitis, periodontitis as a direct manifestation of systemic diseases, and periodontitis.
    • The Stage at presentation of a periodontitis case is based on disease severity, extent of disease at presentation, and complexity of management of the case.
