“Understanding the role of periodontal diseases in oral health”

Classification of Periodontal Disease

• Chronic Periodontitis
  • Localized: Less than 30% of sites involved.
  • Generalized: More than 30% of sites involved.
  • Slight: 1–2 mm clinical attachment loss.
  • Moderate: 3–4 mm clinical attachment loss.
  • Severe: More than 5 mm clinical attachment loss.
• Aggressive Periodontitis
  • Localized: Slight, moderate or severe.
  • Generalized.

“Importance of studying periodontal diseases for better dental care”

• Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Diseases
  • Associated with hematological disorders:
    • Acquired neutropenia.
    • Leukemias.
    • Others.
  • Associated with genetic disorders:
    • Familial and cyclic neutropenia.
    • Down syndrome.
    • Leukocyte adhesion defiiency syndrome.
    • Papillon-Lefévre syndrome.
    • Chèdiak-Higashi syndrome.
    • Histiocytosis syndrome.
    • Glycogen storage disease.
    • Infantile genetic agranulocytosis.
    • Cohen syndrome.
    • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Types 4 and 8).
    • Hypophosphatasia.
    • Others.

“Common challenges in diagnosing and treating periodontal diseases”

“Steps to identify common types of periodontal diseases”

• Necrotizing Periodontal Diseases
  • Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.
  • Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis.
• Abscesses of the Periodontium
• • Gingival abscess.
  • Periodontal abscess.
  • Pericoronal abscess.
• Periodontitis Associated with Endodontic Lesions

Combined periodontic-endodontic lesions.

• Developmental or Acquired
  • Deformities and Conditions:
    • Localized tooth-related factors that modify or predispose to plaque-induced gingival diseases/periodontitis:
      • Tooth anatomic factors.
      • Dental restorations/appliances.
      • Root fractures.
      • Cervical root resorption and cemental tear.

“Role of chronic periodontitis in adult populations”

• • • Mucogingival deformities and conditions around teeth:
      • Gingival/soft tissue recession, facial or lingual surfaces, interproximal (papillary).
      • Lack of keratinized gingiva.
      • Decreased vestibular depth.
      • Aberrant frenum/muscle position.
      • Gingival excess:
        • Pseudopocket
        • Inconsistent gingival margin
        • Excessive gingival display
        • Gingival enlargement.
      • Abnormal color.

“Early warning signs of untreated gum issues leading to advanced disease”

• • • Mucogingival deformities and conditions on edentulous ridges:
      • Vertical and/or horizontal ridge deficiency.
      • Lack of gingival/keratinized tissue.
      • Gingival/soft tissue enlargement.
      • Aberrant frenum/muscle position.
      • Decreased vestibular depth.
      • Abnormal color.
    • Occlusal trauma:
      • Primary occlusal trauma.
      • Secondary occlusal trauma.
