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.
