Co-destructive factors of marginal periodontitis and repetitive mechanical injury. 1975

S Meitner

When repetitive mechanical injury was produced in combination with marginal periodontitis a significant loss of connective tissue attachment did not occur as compared with specimens in which periodontitis alone was produced. It seems unlikely, therefore, that there is a "co-destructive" factor effect on the loss of connective tissue attachment. The amount of alveolar bone lost as a result of marginal periodontitis was increased by the addition of repeated mesiodistal jiggling of the teeth. This could represent an irreversible "co-destructive" effect or could merely be a functional adaptation of the periodontium.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D010510	Periodontal Diseases	Pathological processes involving the PERIODONTIUM including the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, and the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.	Parodontosis,Pyorrhea Alveolaris,Disease, Periodontal,Diseases, Periodontal,Parodontoses,Periodontal Disease
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.

D010519	Periodontium	The structures surrounding and supporting the tooth. Periodontium includes the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, and the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.
