Classification of Periodontitis

On the clinical course of isolated acute and chronic periodontitis.

Acute periodontitis (periodontitis acuta) depending on the nature of fluid shared by many authors in acute serous and acute purulent. I should say that such a distinction on the basis of a subjective data is not always possible. In addition, the transition form serous purulent inflammation is very fast and depends on several conditions, primarily on the condition of the patient.

Chronic periodontitis is divided based on the nature and extent of damage to periodontal tissues. Distinguish chronic fibrotic periodontitis (periodontitis chronica fibrosa), chronic granulating (periodontitis chronica granulans) and chronic granulomatous periodontitis, or granuloma (periodontitis chronica granulomatosa s. granuloma).

Chronic periodontitis in response to various adverse conditions (influenza, chill, etc.) may exacerbate the inflammatory process. The clinical course of the aggravated chronic periodontitis although it has many features in common with acute periodontitis, but also possesses its distinctive features. This form of asplenia has not only the elimination of acute inflammatory events, such as acute periodontitis, but also those destructive disturbances that are characteristic of some form of chronic periodontitis. On this basis, should be distinguished in the classification and chronic periodontitis in the acute stage (periodontitis chronica exacerbata).
