1. The sequence of events that occurs during the development of
periodontal disease is ____________: pathogenesis
2. The periodontium can exist in one of three basic states: ___________,
__________, _____________: health, gingivitis, periodontitis
3. Which state has these characteristics? ____________
Reversible, redness, BOP, no bone loss, junctional epithelium is attached to
the enamel coronal to the cementoenamel junction: gingivitis
4. Which state has these characteristics? ____________
The alveolar crest of bone is located 2 mm apical to CEJ of teeth, tissues are
light pink with scalloped margins, no bleeding upon probing, probing depths
range from 1 to 2 mm in depth with no bone loss present: health
5. Which state has these characteristics? ____________
, Bacterial infection of all parts of the periodontium, gingival margin is at the
cementoenamel junction, the junctional epithelium is apical to the
cementoenamel junction on cementum, or the coronal most portion of the
junctional epithelium is detached from the tooth surface: periodontitis
6. In which state of disease is reversible tissue damage possible?:
gingivitis
7. In which state of disease is reversible tissue damage NOT possible?:
periodontitis 8. If the inflammation is severe it may overcome the
continuity of the transseptal fibers, thereby leading to tooth displacement.
This is known as _____________ ________ ___________. This may be a foreboding
sign of severe periodontitis and may be a motivating factor for patients to
seek treatment.: pathologic tooth migration 9. Bone height in health and
gingivitis: the crest of the alveolar bone is located approximately ______
mm ________ to the CEJ's of the teeth.: 2-3, apical
