periodontitis because the medical history is normal, but there is attachment loss and
apical migration of the JE.
During the assessment of the periodontium, you note the following: apical migration of
the JE and attachment loss. The patient's medical history is normal; he takes no
medications. According to the 2017 disease classification, would this patient be
classified as healthy, having gingivitis, periodontitis, or periodontitis as a manifestation
of systemic disease, and why?
gingivitis due to abundant plaque biofilm, redness/swelling, and absence of apical
migration of the JE. The patient also has a negative medical history.
During the assessment of the periodontium, you note the following: bleeding, redness,
and swelling of the tissue; abundant plaque biofilm, no apical migration of the JE, and
no attachment loss. The patient's medical history is normal; he takes no medications.
According to the 2017 disease classification, would this patient be classified as healthy,

and why?
periodontitis as a manifestation of a systemic disease because the patient has
diabetes/takes medication for it and has attachment loss/apical migration of the JE.

Periodontal Health on an Intact Periodontium
This patient exhibits no clinical signs of gingival inflammation and no previous loss of
periodontal tissues. The dental radiograph does not reveal any changes in either the
alveolar bone height or the architecture and morphology of the alveolar bone
What category of periodontal health is this patient?
Periodontal Health on a Reduced Periodontium in a Non-periodontitis Patient
This is a 54-year-old male patient with a history of excessive frequent daily
toothbrushing (he brushed five to six times a day with a hard-bristled toothbrush).
Generalized recession of the gingival margins despite having no evident signs of clinical
inflammation.
What category of periodontal health is this patient?
Periodontal Health on a Reduced Periodontium in a Successfully Treated Stable
Periodontitis Patient
In 2016, this generalized periodontitis patient underwent nonsurgical and surgical
periodontal therapy to control the disease. Eighteen months later, the above photo was
taken to illustrate how healthy her gingiva looks following therapy and meticulous home
care.Dental radiograph reveals loss of alveolar bone height
