II. Definition
- Loss of tooth supporting bone structure due to chronic Gingivitis
III. Epidemiology
- Common cause of adult tooth loss (esp. men ages 30-50 years)
- Diabetes Mellitus is a common cause
IV. Pathophysiology
- Chronic Gingivitis results in inflammation of deeper tissues around teeth
- Crevices between gums and teeth enlarge
- Pockets develop in crevices with
- Debris
- Purulent materials
- Consequences
- Loss of tooth supporting bone structure
- Periodontal ligament detaches from tooth
V. Types
VI. Symptoms
- Halitosis
- Tooth Pain or sensitivity (esp. with eating)
VII. Signs
VIII. Management
- Surgical Debridement of infected or necrotic tissue by dentist or periodontist
- Mouth rinses
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% Rinse (Peridex)
- Hexetidine 0.1% Rinse (Oraldene)
- Systemic Antibiotics in diffuse involvement
- Oral: Doxycycline or Metronidazole
- Topical: Minocycline

Definition (MSH) | Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset. (From 1999 International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions, American Academy of Periodontology) |
Definition (CHV) | a disease that attacks the gum and bone around the teeth |
Definition (NCI) | An acute or chronic inflammatory process that affects the tissues that surround and support the teeth. |
Definition (CSP) | inflammatory reaction of the tissues surrounding a tooth (periodontium), usually resulting from the extension of gingival inflammation into the periodontium. |
