Oral and dental conditions

It is a severe form of gingivitis and is characterized by rapid destruction of gingival tissue, particularly in the area of the interdental papilla.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth (periodontium) characterized by irreversible destruction of the periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone, and connective tissue attachment. It usually develops as a progression of untreated gingivitis when the inflammatory process extends beyond the gingiva into the deeper periodontal tissues.

Inflammatory changes in the gingival develop within a couple of days of undisturbed bacterial growth on the gingival margin of the erupted tooth in the oral cavity.

Historically referred to as adenoameloblastoma, is a rare benign odontogenic epithelial tumor characterized by slow growth, limited aggressiveness, and an excellent prognosis.

A dermoid cyst is a rare benign developmental cyst that arises from ectodermal tissue trapped during embryonic fusion. In the oral and maxillofacial region, dermoid cysts most commonly occur in the midline of the floor of the mouth, although they may also develop in the submental or sublingual spaces.
