Definition of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease refers to a group of pathogenic problems that arise in the gum sulcus usually because of an increase in the quality and change in the type of bacteria present. These medical bacteria infections are generally divided into two groups: gingivitis, which causes mostly minor damage to the gums, and periodontitis, an autoimmune disease which damages bone, cementum, and connective tissue that supports the teeth. For these reasons, periodontitis often leads to tooth loss. Although gingivitis usually precedes periodontitis, it doesn't always lead to periodontitis. In fact, some experts believe that these are two entirely different diseases.
