Clinical Information
- A disorder in the gingival tissue around the teeth.
- An inflammatory process of the gingival tissues and/or periodontal membrane of the teeth, resulting in an abnormally deep gingival sulcus, possibly producing periodontal pockets and loss of alveolar bone support.
- Condition in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of the tissues that support, attach, and surround the teeth.
- Pathological processes involving the periodontium including the gum (gingiva), the alveolar bone (alveolar process), the dental cementum, and the periodontal ligament.
