Clinical attachment loss is determined by adding the probing depth to the gingival recession measurement, providing an accurate assessment of periodontal support loss. [3] The position of the gingival margin relative to the cementoenamel junction significantly influences clinical attachment loss, even when probing depths remain constant.
1: Total loss of attachment (clinical attachment loss, CAL) is the sum of 2: Gingival recession, and 3: Probing depth. Gingival recession, also known as gum recession and receding gums, is the exposure in the roots of the teeth caused by a loss of gum tissue and/or retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the teeth. [1] Gum recession ...

II) Gingivitis - dental biofilm induced Associated with the dental biofilm alone Mediated by systemic or local risk factors Drug influenced gingival enlargement
No disease (gingival pockets < 3 mm) 1: Bleeding on probing, but gingival pockets < 3 mm 2: Periodontal pocketing < 3mm, but calculus (dental) present with or without plaque retentive factors such as "overhanging" restorations 3: Shallow periodontal pockets 4 - 5.5 mm (i.e. first band on probe partially visible) 4
Using the mucogingival junction as the boundary demarcating the apical border of the attached gingiva, a periodontal probe is inserted into the gingival sulcus to measure how much of the keratinized gingiva coronal to the mucogingival junction is in fact attached to the underlying bone. The depth of the gingival sulcus, determined by the depth ...
Thin facial alveolar bone, including dehiscences or fenestrations, is considered a risk factor for gum recession. The risk of gum recession can increase following orthodontic treatment or dental implant treatment if bone volume is limited in the horizontal (axial) plane. Previously there was no defined tool to measure the quantity of facial ...
Gingival retraction or gingival recession is when there is lateral movement of the gingival margin away from the tooth surface. [1] [2] It is usually termed gingival retraction as an intentional procedure, and in such cases it is performed by mechanical, chemical, or electrical means in order to perform certain dental surgery procedures.
The tip of the instrument is placed with light pressure of 10-20 grams [1] into the gingival sulcus, which is an area of potential space between a tooth and the surrounding tissue. It is important to keep the periodontal probe parallel to the contours of the root of the tooth and to insert the probe down to the base of the pocket .
