|
|
palate
|

|
gingival crevicular fluid
|
fluid that flows fromthe depths of the gingival sulcus.

|
nonspecific plaque hypothesis
|
relates periodontal disease to the overall amount of plaque present
as the amount of plaque increases, inflammation and disease increase |
|
specific plaque hypothesis
|
various demonstrations of signs or symptems of the periodontal plaque related diseases to specific bacteria
in other words, specific types and complexes of bacteria and their pathogenic potential are more important than the amount of plaque biofilm present |

manifestations
|
signs or symptoms
|

|
study of structre and function of organisms in terms of their DNA sequences
|
|
refractory periodontal disease
|
periodontal disease that continues to progress or recur despite professional care and self care
