What is periodontal disease or periodontitis?

0

Periodontitis (Periodontal disease) is defined as inflammation of the gingiva (gum tissue), as well as the adjacent attachment apparatus. It is characterized by loss of clinical attachment and there is loss of the adjacent supporting bone, meaning it is irreversible. However, treatment of periodontal disease can arrest the disease and bone can also be added in certain instances.
