Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a set of inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen, red, and may bleed. In its more serious form, called periodontitis, the gums can pull away from the toot...

Periodontitis
Initial periodontal therapy was implemented based on a clinical diagnosis of severe chronic periodontitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Periodontitis, inflammation of the soft tissues around the teeth, characterized by swollen, tender gums, that may lead to the eventual loss of teeth. [britannica.com]
This paper will focus on periodontal disease pathogenesis, periodontal clinical assessment and diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gingivitis
It is not known if and when gingivitis transforms into periodontitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Periodontal disease ranges from gingival inflammation (gingivitis) to the inflammation and loss of tooth-supporting tissues (periodontitis). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fibroma
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign growth, considered to originate from the periodontal ligament. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF), a relatively uncommon lesion, reactive in nature is seen as an overgrowth of the gingival tissues often leading to periodontal [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These lesions are included in the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions arising from periodontal ligament cells, which can deposit combination of cementum and bone surrounded [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Periodontal diseases play an evident role in the etiology of aspiration pneumonia due to their effect to alter the oral bacterial flora. [hungary.pure.elsevier.com]
Abstract The primary problems that predispose to aspiration pneumonia include a reduced level of consciousness, dysphagia, periodontal disease, and mechanical interference [academic.oup.com]
