Defining periodontal health

Abstract: Assessment of the periodontium has relied exclusively on a variety of physical measurements (e.g., attachment level, probing depth, bone loss, mobility, recession, degree of inflammation, etc.) in relation to various case definitions of periodontal disease. Periodontal health was often an afterthought and was simply defined as the absence of the signs and symptoms of a periodontal disease. Accordingly, these strict and sometimes disparate definitions of periodontal disease have resulted in an idealistic requir… Show more

“…It appears that orange and green complexes are associated with long term gingivitis, which precedes the actual periodontal disease, while the red complex are the late colonizers of the plaque biofilm (Teles et al, 2013). A. actinomycetemcomitans has been found to be one of the first and most important etiological agents that invades the subgingival plaque and set up the environment for other bacterial species (Mariotti and Arthur, 2015).…”
