- The periodontal probe is also used to assess attached gingiva. A probe meas ures the total width of the gingiva from the free gingival margin to the mucogin gival junction, and the pocket depth is subtracted from the total gingival width.

Gingivitis in Cats Gingivitis in Cats. Gingivitis is considered the earliest stage of periodontal disease. This stage is reversible with proper care. It is indicated by inflammation of the gingiva, or gums. In the early phases of gingivitis, some plaque is present and there is a mild redness of the gums, but the gingival surfaces are smooth.

- Gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection that destroys the tissues that support the teeth. This can include the gums, the periodontal ligaments, and the tooth sockets (alveolar bone).Gingivitis is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits on your teeth.Plaque is a sticky material made of bacteria, mucus, and food debris that builds up on the exposed parts of the teeth. It is also a major cause of tooth decay.ingivitis (inflammation of the gums) often does not cause any immediate symptoms. Yet it may spread to other parts of the periodontium (the bone and soft tissue responsible for keeping our teeth firmly anchored) and cause damage there.

Gingivitis Gingivitis (inflammation of the gum tissue) is a non-destructive disease that occurs around the teeth. The most common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease overall, is in response to bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) that is attached to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis.

Peripheral Muscle Wasting in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Peripheral muscle wasting is a common finding in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and several other chronic diseases. Although muscle wasting has long been recognized by clinicians (1), its relevance to patients' outcome and management has been overlooked.

Gingivitis The bacteria cause inflammation of the gums that is called gingivitis.. In gingivitis, the gums become red, swollen and can bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist.

Ginkgo biloba Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgo or gingko and also as the maidenhair tree, is the only living species in the division Ginkgophyta, all others being extinct.It is recognizably similar to fossils dating back 270 million years.Native to China, the tree is widely cultivated and was introduced early to human history.he leaves are usually 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in), but sometimes up to 15 cm (5.9 in) long. The old popular name maidenhair tree is because the leaves resemble some of the pinnae of the maidenhair fern, Adiantum capillus-veneris.

periodontal disease Gingivitis is an inflammation of the outermost soft tissue of the gums. The gingivae become red and inflamed, loose their normal shape, and bleed easily. Gingivitis may remain a chronic disease for years without affecting other periodontal tissues.

Gum Disease - Topic Overview 1 Gingivitis (say jin-juh-VY-tus) is gum disease that affects only the gums, the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth. 2  Periodontitis (say pair-ee-oh-don-TY-tus) is more severe. 3  It spreads below the gums to damage the tissues and bone that support the teeth.

Gingival enlargement Classification [edit]. The terms gingival hyperplasia and gingival hypertrophy have been used to describe this topic in the past. These are not precise descriptions of gingival enlargement because these terms are strictly histologic diagnoses, and such diagnoses require microscopic analysis of a tissue sample. Hyperplasia refers to an increased number of cells, and hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of individual cells.

What Are the Causes of Gingivitis in Stray Kittens? Gingivitis is the fancy name for inflammation of the gums. Often cats also have bad breath and tartar on their teeth, especially along the gum lines. As the inflammation gets worse, the gums sometimes pull away from the teeth. Bacteria and food particles get stuck in the gaps, causing infections, tooth decay and pain.
