- Blunted papilla
- Cratered papilla
Papilla changes: (3)




- increased fluid leaves smooth, shiny appearance
- tissue becomes soft, spongy and nonelastic
- indentation when pressed with probe
Tissue changes in gingivitis - tissue deflects when air blown into sulcus = flaccid
- erythema: redness
- edema: swelling
- BOP over 10%

Extent:
- Localized (<30%)
- Generalized (>30%)
Extent and distribution of inflammation
Distribution:
