Periodontitis, also known as gum disease and pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and the bone that support the teeth. A person having periodontitis will more than likely have significant gum recession and tooth mobility. This is the most serious stage of periodontal disease. In severe cases, bone loss can occur and teeth may loosen or even fall out.
