A Case Report on Management of Pseudo Gingival Pockets By Phase 1 Periodontal Therapy

Abstract

 Gingivitis and Periodontitis are the two most common diseases as confined to the field of Periodontology. Gingivitis is defined as the inflammation of gingiva but without the loss of the clinical attachment. Whereas Periodontitis is defined as the extention of inflammation into the supporting tissues of the teeth with the loss of the clinical attachment. Though gingivitis is characterized by the absence of clinical attachment loss, one thing that is common to both gingivitis and periodontitis is sometimes the present of pockets in case of gingivitis, a part from periodontitis. The pocket that occur in gingivitis are both the pseudo pockets and true pockets. Present case report is on a 26 years old female who reported to the department of Periodontology with the chief complaint of bleeding gums from the lower front tooth region. Upon examination it was found that the patient had stage 2 gingivitis, which was treated by thorough scaling, curettage, and root planing ,leading to resolution of gingivitis which gave us the conclusion, that the pockets were pseudo in nature and can be treated well with the phase 1 periodontal therapy.
