2 sections • 6 lectures • 1h 32m total length

Introduction of the Periodontium5:00
Discover the periodontium's key structures—the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone—and how the gingival margin, free gingiva, and interdental spaces relate to tooth support.
Continuation of the Anatomy of the Gingiva17:59
This lecture on basic periodontology explains the gingiva anatomy, including the junctional epithelium, epithelial attachments, and key gingival fiber groups. It also describes how gingival crevicular fluid signals inflammation.
Anatomy of the Periodontal Ligament17:00
Explore the periodontal ligament as a 0.2 mm soft tissue between tooth and bone, detailing its origin, vascular and neural supply, cells, fiber groups, and remodeling.
Diagnostic Tools in Periodontology19:32
Identify inflammation through bleeding on probing, assess pocket depth and clinical attachment loss, evaluate tooth mobility and Glickman classification, and outline surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

Gingivitis19:46
Examine gingivitis, including black-induced and non-black hormone-related forms, characterized by no attachment loss, color and shape changes, and bleeding on probing, across incipient, developing, and chronic stages.
Periodontitis12:56
Diagnose periodontitis by identifying attachment loss, connective tissue destruction, and bone loss forming periodontal pockets, then classify by extent (localized or generalized) and severity.
