    Periodontitis; Other conditions affecting the periodontium. In periodontal health, gingival diseases and conditions, there are 3 sub-types: [5] I) Periodontal health and gingival health Gingival health on an intact periodontium Gingival health on a reduced periodontium i.Stable periodontitis patient ii.Non periodontitis patient

    Introducing reduced periodontium to the classification to take into account patients with loss of attachment in the absence of periodontitis and post-periodontal treatment Introduction of staging and grading system to categorise periodontitis by the severity and biological features instead of the old terms of "chronic periodontitis" and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_disease

    Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a set of inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. [5] In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen and red and may bleed. [5] It is considered the main cause of tooth loss for adults worldwide.

    Clinical gingival health on a reduced periodontium Stable periodontitis patient; Non-periodontitis patient; Gingivitis—dental biofilm-induced. Associated with dental biofilm alone; Medicated by systemic or local risk factors; Drug-influenced gingival enlargement; Gingival diseases—nondental biofilm-induced. Genetic or developmental disorders

  6. Aggressive periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_periodontitis

    Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobe associated with the pathogenicity of periodontal disease, [10] and aggressive periodontitis is no exception. Greater numbers of both Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were found in active, destructive periodontal lesions in comparison to non-active sites.

  7. Chronic periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_periodontitis

    Chronic periodontitis is initiated by Gram-negative tooth-associated microbial biofilms that elicit a host response, which results in bone and soft tissue destruction. In response to endotoxin derived from periodontal pathogens, several osteoclast-related mediators target the destruction of alveolar bone and supporting connective tissue such as the periodontal ligament.

  8. Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontitis_as_a...

    [1] [2] At least 16 systemic diseases have been linked to periodontitis. These systemic diseases are associated with periodontal disease because they generally contribute to either a decreased host resistance to infections or dysfunction in the connective tissue of the gums , increasing patient susceptibility to inflammation-induced destruction.

  9. 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.
