Diagrammatic illustration of healthy (A) and diseased (B) periodontium. The crown of the teeth is covered by enamel (1). Cementum covering the root (2), periodontal ligament (3), alveolar bone (4), and gingival attachment (5) are the four tissues that comprise the periodontium. In periodontitis subjects, dental plaque is usually seen attached to the root surface, which gets calcified over time (6), deep in the periodontal pocket (7). A periodontal probe is used clinically to diagnose periodontitis (8).
