The plaque is not readily visible, but is recognized by running a periodontal probe across the tooth surface. 2 = Moderate accumulation of plaque on the gingival margin, within the gingival pocket, and/or adjacent to the tooth surface, which can be observed visually.
Oral inflammation, in response to bacterial proliferation in the biofilm, is identified as another component in this hypothesized causal model. Periodontal diseases are routinely “subdivided” into two distinct categories on the basis of the destructive nature of the disease. Gingivitis or gingival inflammation is defined as an inflammation of the soft tissue without apical migration of the junctional epithelium. 2 Similar to gingivitis, periodontitis is an inflammatory disease; however, a component of the inflammatory process in periodontitis results in the apical migration of the • 14 • Chapter 2 Epidemiology/B iology of Periodontal D iseases • 15 TABLE 2-1 CLASSIFICATION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES CATEGORIES I.
The response to this biofilm is an inflammation of the surrounding local gingival and periodontal tissues (Figure 2-2). 6,7 Although gingivitis is a precursor to a more destructive disease process, not all patients who express gingival inflammation will progress to that state. This fact, along with the difference in the inflammation, suggests that a subset of patients express differences in levels of response to the biofilm.
