Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic periodontitis involves clinical attachment loss, which is defined as the separation of collagen fibers from the cementum and apical movement of the junctional epithelium onto the root surface. This destructive process causes bone loss. Periodontal disease can be localized or generalized in the mouth, with the possibility of purulent exudate or drainage of fluid from periodontally involved pockets. Note that a pocket is a sulcus that has deepened from disease.
