    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodontal_diseases

    Aggressive periodontitis is distinguished from the chronic form mainly by the faster rate of progression. Loss of attachment may progress despite good oral hygiene and in the absence of risk factors such as smoking. Aggressive periodontitis may occur in younger persons and there may a genetic aspect, with the trait sometimes running in families ...

  3. 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.

  4. Periodontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontology

    Prevention of periodontal disease and maintenance of the periodontal tissues following initial treatment requires the patient's ability to perform and maintain effective dental plaque removal. [44] This requires the patient to be motivated in improving their oral hygiene and requires behaviour change in terms of tooth brushing, interdental ...

  5. Periodontal disease - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. Epidemiology of periodontal diseases - Wikipedia

    Treatment concepts were based on the concept of pocket depths being the most critical criterion for surgical versus non-surgical treatments. This index was also designed to screen large populations to determine treatment needs and formulate preventive strategies, not to describe the prevalence and severity of periodontal diseases.

  8. Periodontal pathogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_pathogen

    Dental plaque, the precursor of periodontal disease, is a complex biofilm consisting mainly of bacteria, but also archaea, protozoa, fungi and viruses. Viruses that specifically infect bacteria—bacteriophages—are most common in the oral cavity. Viral roles in the progression of periodontal disease as of 2017 remains poorly explored. [1]

  9. Aggressive periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_periodontitis

    Progression of attachment loss and bone loss may be self-arresting. [19] In some patients, the disease may burnout without any cause-related therapy. [30] Caries levels have seen to be lower in cases of aggressive periodontitis. [31] [32] Staging Cases of aggressive periodontitis have been staged into Stage I, II and III based on the severity ...
