Gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket formation, destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone resulting in mobile teeth symbolizes periodontitis and is accompanied by apical migration of the junctional epithelium onto the root surface. It is considered as one of the major causes of tooth loss. Thus, care must be taken to prevent this disease which leads to bone loss though a slight amount of bone loss is inevitable.
