| Abstract text: | Tooth decay and periodontal injury, disease with a maximum prevalence of maxillary dental device, occurred in human since ancient times, but now have become a real health problem. Addressed until recently only in treatment terms of lesions present, now, due to an accumulation of important issues concerning etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases are required increasingly specifically methods of prevention and treatment of caries and periodontal disease. Bleeding of the gums, even during brushing is a sign of inflammation and the major marker of periodontal disease. In chronic periodontitis, the tooth supporting structures are destroyed. The disease has a multifactorial origin. Complexes of commensal oral anaerobic bacteria and perhaps viruses are thought to interact with risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes and depression, to create the conditions which make a person susceptible to periodontitis. The patient’s immune-inflammatory response to the bacteria causes the tissue destruction which occurs in chronic periodontitis. Less than 5% of people are susceptible to the severe periodontitis which results in tooth loss, although up to 10% experience moderate amounts of periodontitis-related bone loss. It is useful to distinguish chronic gingivitis from periodontitis. Chronic gingivitis is the very common inflammatory reaction occurring in the gingival tissues in response to the accumulation of dental plaque. It usually precedes the development of periodontitis, but chronic gingivitis does not inevitably progress to periodontitis. In this study we are proposing a clinical examination of marginal periodontium, gingival bleeding insisting on the presence and significance of this symptom in periodontal pathology. We attempt to accomplish a correlation between the degree of bleeding gums and periodontal damage, including the symptoms present in cases of study. |
