what is the soft tissue surrounding the teeth and covering the ebone betweeen the teeth.
what is gingiva
100
seen at any age and defined by inflammation. includes plaque- inducesd and non plaque- inducedgingival lesions.
What is gingivitis
100
sticky, tooth colored film on teeth.
What is plaque
100
defined as an inflammatory disease of the gingival tissue includingloss of supporting bone.
What is periodontitis
100
the measurement of movement of a tooth in its socket.
What is tooth mobility
200
The base of the sulcus area.
what is Epithelial Attachment
200
seen at any age. symptoms include inflammation of the periodtium, loss of epithelial attachment and periodontal ligament attachment, loss of bone and eventual tooth loss.
What is chronic periodontitis
200
also known as tartar, a combination of calcium and phosphate salts from saliva that mixes with plaque to form hard deposits on teeth.
What is calculus
200
less than 30% of sites in the mouth are affected.
What is localized
200
is the area of multi- rooted tooth where the root divides.
What is furcation involvement
300
connects the cementum of the roots to thesupportive alveolar bone of the jaw.
what is periodontal ligament
300
onset prior to age 35, but can affect older patients. very rapid rate of periodontal destruction includong bone loss, may have genetic relationship, usually bacteria specific.
What is aggresive periodontitis
300
calculus above the free gingival margin
What is supragingival calculus
300
more than 30% of the sites in the mouth are affected.
What is generalized
300
a calibrated instrument used to diagnose the periodontal condition.
What is periodontal probe.
400
anchors the tooth to the bone by providing the proper surface for the periodontal ligament
what is cementum
400
infection of the periodontal tissues with pus or suppuration formation. often seen as a large blisterfilled with yellow or green pus and other fluids.
What is abscesses of the periodontium
400
calculus below the free gingival margin
What is subgingival calculus
400
the severity of periodontitis is described as:
What is slight or early, moderate, severe or advanced.
400
the rremoval of calculus, plaque, and its by- products from the coronal and root surfaces and tissue wall and pocket to promote healing.
What is periodontal debridement
500
surrounds and supports the tooth in position
alveolar bone
500
a combo infection including the periodontium and the pulpal tissue of a tooth. often seen on a radiograph as bone loss to the apex of the tooth.
What is perodontitis associated with endodontic lesions.
500
leading cause of periodontal disease
What is plaque
500
periodontal disease is classified by the severity of the destruction of the destruction of the supporting tissues and the location within the oral cavity, this would classify it as:
What is chronic or aggresive
500
the removal of biofilm, calculus, and stains from the crowns and roots of teeth.
