Periodontics is the discipline that deals with the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease, that affects the oral cavity by inflating the tooth support tissues, starting from the soft ones until reaching bone.
In the first case we will talk about Gingivitis: reversible pathology caused by accumulation of bacteria which causes inflammation and bleeding of soft tissues only;
In the second case, however, we will talk about Periodontitis, irreversible pathology caused by the same bacteria that affect the hard tissue (bone) as well as the soft ones around the tooth, causing the formation of so-called periodontal pockets (bacterial receptacles) that can , if not intercepted in time with preventive checks, take to the loss of affected dental elements.
