==Pathogenesis== Periodontitis is caused by [[microorganisms]] that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces (notably '''[[dental plaque]]''' or biofilm), along with an overly aggressive immune response against these microorganisms. ===Stages=== # '''Gingivitis''': The precursor to periodontitis, characterized by inflammation of the gums without bone loss. # '''Slight Periodontitis''': Early bone loss and pocket depth of 3β4 mm. # '''Moderate Periodontitis''': Increased bone loss and pocket depth of 5β7 mm. # '''Advanced Periodontitis''': Severe bone loss, tooth mobility, and pocket depths exceeding 7 mm.
