UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010514	Periodontal Pocket	An abnormal extension of a gingival sulcus accompanied by the apical migration of the epithelial attachment and bone resorption.	Pocket, Periodontal,Periodontal Pockets,Pockets, Periodontal
D010518	Periodontitis	Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset. (From 1999 International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions, American Academy of Periodontology)	Pericementitis,Pericementitides,Periodontitides
D005881	Gingiva	Oral tissue surrounding and attached to TEETH.	Gums,Interdental Papilla,Papilla, Interdental,Gum
D005882	Gingival Diseases	Diseases involving the GINGIVA.	Epulis,Gingivosis,Epulides,Disease, Gingival,Diseases, Gingival,Gingival Disease,Gingivoses
D005890	Gingivectomy	Surgical excision of the gingiva at the level of its attachment, thus creating new marginal gingiva. This procedure is used to eliminate gingival or periodontal pockets or to provide an approach for extensive surgical interventions, and to gain access necessary to remove calculus within the pocket. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Gingivectomies
D005893	Gingivoplasty	Surgical reshaping of the gingivae and papillae for correction of deformities (particularly enlargements) and to provide the gingivae with a normal and functional form, the incision creating an external bevel. (Dorland, 28th ed)	Gingivoplasties
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013357	Subgingival Curettage	Removal of degenerated and necrotic epithelium and underlying connective tissue of a periodontal pocket in an effort to convert a chronic ulcerated wound to an acute surgical wound, thereby insuring wound healing and attachment or epithelial adhesion, and shrinkage of the marginal gingiva. The term is sometimes used in connection with smoothing of a root surface or ROOT PLANING.

D013524	Surgical Flaps	Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
