Classification of Periodontal Diseases
1. Read the text and answer the question “What are two main categories of gingival diseases?”
The most current classification system for periodontal diseases was developed in 1998. Classification systems aid in studying the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of diseases; provide a way to organize the health care needs of patients; serve to classify periodontal diseases for insurance reporting purposes.
There are two main categories of gingival diseases: plaque-induced and non-plaque-induced. Gingivitis that is initiated by plaque biofilm (i.e., plaque-induced) can be modified by systemic factors, medications, and malnutrition. Non-plaque-induced gingival lesions include diseases of bacterial, viral or fungal origin, genetic manifestations of systemic conditions, traumatic lesions, or foreign body reactions.
There are seven categories of periodontitis: chronic; aggressive and systemic periodontitis; necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUP); abscesses; endodontic lesions; developmental and acquired deformities and conditions.
2. Use the words in bold to complete definitions.
1) … the most commonly diagnosed diseased category. It is usually treatable and can be controlled; responsive to appropriate treatment.
2) … highly destructive form of periodontal disease that can be localized or generalized; characterised by microbial deposit accumulation, advancement of loss of attachment or bone loss that can be self-arresting (stop on its own).
3) … relates to gingival or periodontal lesions, which require special diagnostic and treatment approaches.
4. Use the information from the text to fill in the table.
