Classification of periodontal diseases

From WikiLectures

Periodontal disease is a disease of the periodontium, the hanging apparatus of the tooth.

Classification according to German nomenclature[edit | edit source]

Inflammatory forms[edit | edit source]

Gingivitis[edit | edit source]

Gingivitis before treatment
Gingivitis after treatment
  • Acute gingivitis.
  • Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG).
  • Chronic gingivitis.
  • Special forms of gingivitis.

Marginal parodontitis[edit | edit source]

  • Parodontitis marginalis superficialis.
  • Parodontitis marginalis profunda (including various forms such as LJP, RPP, AP).

Gingivo-parodontal manifestations of general diseases[edit | edit source]

Hyperplastic forms[edit | edit source]

  • Fibrous hyperplasia of the gingiva.
  • Idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia of the gingiva.
  • Drug-induced fibrous hyperplasia of the gingiva.
  • Epulids.

Traumatogenic forms[edit | edit source]

  • Injury to the gingiva.
  • Desmodontal trauma.

Involutional forms[edit | edit source]

  • Parodontal recessions.
  • Solitary periodontal recessions.
  • Generalized periodontal recessions.
  • Atrophy of the alveolus.

Classification according to American nomenclature[edit | edit source]

Gingival disease[edit | edit source]

Plaque-associated gingivitis[edit | edit source]

  • Chronic gingivitis.
  • Acute necrotizing gingivitis.
  • Gingivitis associated with systemic conditions or medications (hormonal-influenced gingivitis, drug-induced gingivitis, HIV gingivitis).

Gingival manifestation of systemic diseases and mucocutaneous lesions[edit | edit source]

  • Bacterial, viral or fungal (e.g. acute herpetic gingivostomatitis).
  • Blood dyscrasia.
  • Mucocutaneous diseases (e.g. lichen planus, cicatricial pemphigoid).

Other gingival changes[edit | edit source]


Periodontitis[edit | edit source]

Adult periodontitis[edit | edit source]

Early-onset periodontitis[edit | edit source]

Periodontitis associated with systemic disease[edit | edit source]

  • Juvenile periodontitis (generalized, localized).
  • Prepubertal periodontitis (generalized, localized).
  • Mucocutaneous diseases (e.g. lichen planus, cicatricial pemphigoid).

Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis[edit | edit source]

Refractory periodontitis[edit | edit source]

  • Early periodontitis - progression of gingival inflammation to deep periodontal structures with little loss of attachment and bone.
  • Moderate periodontitis - symptom intensification with marked bone loss, possibly with increased tooth mobility, in multirooted teeth, furcation involvement.
