Gingiva: The soft tissue that covers the jawbone. Also referred to as the gums. 2. Periodontal ligaments: bundles of fibers that support and retain the tooth in the alveolar socket. 3. Cementum: outer hard, rough surface covering of the root section of the tooth that permits the fiber attachment for tooth retention. 4. Alveolar bone process: compact bone that forms the tooth socket.  Oral Medicine & Periodontology Periodontal Diseases can be divided into two main divisions: 1. Gingivitis 2. Periodontitis  Oral Medicine & Periodontology Periodontal Diseases can be divided into two main divisions: 1. Gingivitis: an inflammation of gingival tissue with no supporting tissue loss. GINGIVITIS  Oral Medicine & Periodontology Periodontal Diseases can be divided into two main divisions: 2. Periodontitis: Inflammation of the supporting structures of the tooth including the gingiva, the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. PERIODONTITIS  Oral Medicine & Periodontology Periodontal Diseases Gingivitis versus Periodontitis  Oral Medicine & Periodontology Plaque: is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. PLAQUE  Oral medicine & Periodontology Calculus: The hard deposit of mineralized plaque that forms on the crown and /or root of the tooth. Calculus  Oral medicine & Periodontology Periodontal probing depth: charting and recording findings of probe depths, assessing plaque and calculus presence, soft tissue, and implant conditions.  Oral medicine & Periodontology Scaling: removal of calculus deposits from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gingiva. SCALING  Nine clinical specialties in the field of dentistry Oral Medicine & Fixed Prosthodontics Periodontology Orthodontics Removable Prosthodontics Pediatric Dentistry Conservative Dentistry Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Endodontics Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology  Removable Prosthodontics Removable prosthodontics is concerned with replacing the teeth with a prosthesis that can be removed. These are often known as dentures Removable Prosthodontics  Removable Prosthodontics Edentulism: defined as loss of dentition. Edentulism occurs because of biological disease processes, such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, trauma, and oral cancer. EDENTULISM  Removable Prosthodontics Complete edentulism / Complete edentulous patient: complete loss of all teeth  Removable Prosthodontics Complete denture: a removable replacement for teeth and soft tissue lost in an entire dental arch  Removable Prosthodontics Partial edentulism / Partial edentulous patient: partial loss of teeth  Removable Prosthodontics Partial denture: partial removable replacement for teeth and soft tissue in a dental arch  Removable Prosthodontics Impression trays: these are devices used to carry, contain, and control impression material during the taking of an impression. They also serve as containers for holding impression material during the production of a negative copy. Thanks
