The historical background of periodontology
Hippocrates of Cos (Greek 460-377 BC)
discussed the function and eruption of teeth and the
etiology of periodontal diseases. He believed that
inflammation of the gingival could be caused by
accumulations of calculus.
Abu'l-QAsim Arabic science (936-1013)
discussed the function and eruption of teeth and the etiology of periodontal
diseases. He believed that inflammation of the gingival could be caused by
accumulations of calculus.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (Holland, 1632-1723)
first described oral bacterial flora, and his drawings offered a reasonably
good presentation of oral spirochetes, and bacilli.
Pierre Fauchard
described in detail his periodontal instruments and the scaling technique.
Levi Spear Parmly (New Orleans dentist 1790-1859)
who is considered the fathe of oral hygiene and inventor of dental floss.
Salomon Robicsek (Hungary 1845-1928)
developed a surgical technique of a scalloped, continuous gingivactomy
excision, exposing the marginal bone for subsequent curettage and
remodeling.
Periodontium
peri
around
odontos tooth
is the functional system of the specialized tissues that surrounds the teeth
attaches them to the maxillary and mandibular bones.
Periodontology
is the science to study the tooth-supporting tissues in health and disease
condition.
Periodontics
is the branch of dentistry that deals with the disease and treatment of
periodontium.
Periodontist
A dental specialist who limits his/her practivities to periodontics.
Gingiva
is one portion of oral mucosa which is also most peripheral component of
the periodontium that surround the cervical portions of the tooth and the
alveolar processes of the jaws.
Gingival sulcus
is the space between the free gingival and the tooth surface.
Interdental gingiva
is the portion of the gingiva that fills the area between two adjacent teeth
apical to the contact area.
Papilla
is the two interdental gingiva, one facial and other lingual.
Cementum
is a thin layer of hard, mineralized tissue that covers the surface of the root. It
is a specialized tissue of ectomesenchymal origin.
Periodontal ligament
is a layer of soft connective tissue that covers the root of the tooth and
attaches it to the bone of the tooth socket. periodontal membrane
periodontal membrane
Alveolar bone or process
is the bone of the upper or lower jaw that surrounds and supports of the roots
of the teeth.
Lamina dura
(The alveolar bone proper) is the thin layer of dense bone that lines a normal
tooth socket. In radiograph, the lamina dura appears as a continuous
radiopaque line around the tooth root.
Pathogenesis
is the sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease or
abnormal condition.
Periodontal disease
Those pathogenesis that affect the periodontium. There are numerous
diseases that affect the periodontium, most often plaque-associated
gingivitis, and periodontitis.
Gingivitis
is the sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease or
abnormal condition.
Alveolar bone or process
is the bone of the upper or lower jaw that surrounds and supports of the roots
of the teeth.
Gingivitis
is gingival inflammation without attachment loss.
Periodontitis
is inflammation-associated loss of periodontal supporting tissue.
Gingival recession
is not actually a disease but rather an anatomic alteration that is elicited by
morphology, improper oral hygiene, and possibly functional overloading.
