    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodontal_diseases

    Photograph (left) and a radiograph (right) demonstrating extensive bone loss and soft tissue inflammation due to periodontitis. Plaque, calculus and staining. The defining feature of periodontitis is connective tissue attachment loss which may manifest as deepening of periodontal pockets, gingival recession, or both. This loss of support for ...

  3. Calculus (dental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

    Calculus formation is associated with a number of clinical manifestations, including bad breath, receding gums and chronically inflamed gingiva. Brushing and flossing can remove plaque from which calculus forms; however, once formed, calculus is too hard (firmly attached) to be removed with a toothbrush.

  4. Periodontal disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_disease

    Subgingival microorganisms (those that exist under the gum line) colonize the periodontal pockets and cause further inflammation in the gum tissues and progressive bone loss. Examples of secondary causes are those things that, by definition, cause microbic plaque accumulation, such as restoration overhangs and root proximity.

  5. Gingival recession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_recession

    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 is a common problem in adults over the age of 40, but it may also occur starting in adolescence, or around the age of 10.

  6. Scaling and root planing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_and_root_planing

    Scaling and root planing, also known as conventional periodontal therapy, non-surgical periodontal therapy or deep cleaning, is a procedure involving removal of dental plaque and calculus (scaling or debridement) and then smoothing, or planing, of the (exposed) surfaces of the roots, removing cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus, toxins, or microorganisms, [1] the agents that ...

  7. Oral mucosa tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa_tissue_engineering

    When tissue is obtained from somewhere other than the oral cavity (such as the intestine or skin) there is a risk of the graft not being able to lose its original donor tissue characteristics. For example, skin grafts are often taken from the radial forearm or lateral upper arm when covering more extensive defects. A positive aspect of using ...

  8. Gingivitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingivitis

    Gingivitis is a non-destructive disease that causes inflammation of the gums; [1] ulitis is an alternative term. [2] The most common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease overall, is in response to bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) that are attached to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis.

  9. Gingival grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_grafting

    Gum grafting, also known as a gingival graft or periodontal plastic surgery, is a surgical procedure to reverse gum recession. Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, [9] which can lead to sensitivity and put teeth at a higher risk of damage or disease [10] due to the loosening of their attachment within the gums and bones of the jaw.
