Periodical Index
|
D016453 |
[Work consisting of a subject approach to the contents of a periodical issuing an annual, biennial, quinquennial, decennial, etc., index. The heading is used for the overall body of articles published by a periodical in the same sense that BIBLIOGRAPHY is useful when published as a single article.

Periodicals as Topic
|
D010506 |
[Works about publications issued at stated, more or less regular, intervals.
] |
|
Periodicity
|
D010507 |
[The tendency of a phenomenon to recur at regular intervals; in biological systems, the recurrence of certain activities (including hormonal, cellular, neural) may be annual, seasonal, monthly, daily, or more frequently (ultradian).
] |
|
Periodontal Abscess
|
D010508 |
[Localized circumscribed purulent area of inflammation in the periodontal tissue. It is a derivative of marginal periodontitis and commonly associated with suprabony and infrabony pockets and interradicular involvements, in contrast to periapical abscess which is attributable to pulp necrosis.
] |
|
Periodontal Atrophy
|
D055093 |
[Degradation or wasting of the PERIODONTIUM tissues that may involve the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, or the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.
] |
|
Periodontal Attachment Loss
|
D017622 |
[Loss or destruction of periodontal tissue caused by periodontitis or other destructive periodontal diseases or by injury during instrumentation. Attachment refers to the periodontal ligament which attaches to the alveolar bone. It has been hypothesized that treatment of the underlying periodontal disease and the seeding of periodontal ligament cells enable the creating of new attachment.

|
Periodontal Cyst
|
D010509 |
[An epithelium-lined sac containing fluid; usually found at the apex of a pulp-involved tooth. The lateral type occurs less frequently along the side of the root.
] |
|
Periodontal Debridement
|
D057747 |
[Removal or disruption of DENTAL DEPOSITS and plaque-retentive DENTAL CALCULUS from tooth surfaces and within the periodontal pocket space without deliberate removal of CEMENTUM as done in ROOT PLANING and often in DENTAL SCALING. The goal is to conserve dental cementum to help maintain or re-establish healthy periodontal environment and eliminate PERIODONTITIS by using light instrumentation strokes and nonsurgical techniques (e.g., ultrasonic, laser instruments).

|
Periodontal Diseases
|
D010510 |
[Pathological processes involving the PERIODONTIUM including the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, and the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.
] |
|
Periodontal Dressings
|
D010511 |
[Surgical dressings, after periodontal surgery, applied to the necks of teeth and the adjacent tissue to cover and protect the surgical wound. (Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p218)
] |
|
Periodontal Index
|
D010512 |
[A numerical rating scale for classifying the periodontal status of a person or population with a single figure which takes into consideration prevalence as well as severity of the condition. It is based upon probe measurement of periodontal pockets and on gingival tissue status.
] |
|
Periodontal Ligament
|
D010513 |
[The fibrous CONNECTIVE TISSUE surrounding the TOOTH ROOT, separating it from and attaching it to the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS).
] |
|
Periodontal Pocket
|
D010514 |
[An abnormal extension of a gingival sulcus accompanied by the apical migration of the epithelial attachment and bone resorption.
] |
|
Periodontal Prosthesis
|
D010515 |
[Any restorative and replacement device that is used as a therapeutic aid in the treatment of periodontal disease. It is an adjunct to other forms of periodontal therapy and does not cure periodontal disease by itself. (Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 3d ed)
] |
|
Periodontal Splints
|
D010516 |
[Fixed or removable devices that join teeth together. They are used to repair teeth that are mobile as a result of PERIODONTITIS.
] |
|
Periodontics
|
D010517 |
[A dental specialty concerned with the histology, physiology, and pathology of the tissues that support, attach, and surround the teeth.
] |
|
Periodontitis
|
D010518 |
[Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset. (From 1999 International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions, American Academy of Periodontology)
] |
|
Periodontium
|
D010519 |
[The structures surrounding and supporting the tooth. Periodontium includes the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, and the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.
] |
|
Perioperative Care
|
D019990 |
[Interventions to provide care prior to, during, and immediately after surgery.
] |
|
Perioperative Medicine
|
D000079645 |
[A medical specialty concerned with the patient before and after surgical procedures.
