| ANUG | tissue presents with bleeding, infection, pain, and a foul odor |
| curettage | involves scraping r cleaning the gingival loining of the pocket with a sharp curette to remove necrotic tissue from the pocket wall. Gingival curettage is also referred to as subgingival curettage |

| alveolar process | the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth socket on bones that bear teeth (MX and MD) |
| periodontium | supports the teeth in the alveolar bone. these tissue also protect and nourish the teeth |
| cementum | covers the root of the tooth. Main function is to anchor the tooth to the bony socket with the attachment of the Periodontal ligament |
| contradictions | opposing statement |
| routine prophylaxis | basically a dental term for a regular teeth cleaning |
| fulcrum | (finger rest) |
| Periodontal scaling | used to remove supragingival calculus |
| Periodontal pocket | occurs when the disease caused the gingival sulcus to become deeper than normal |
| Periodontal ligament | dense connective fibers that connect the cementum covering the root of the tooth with the alveolar bone of the socket wall |
| interradicular septum | the bone separating the roots of the multi rooted tooth |
| interdental septum | the bony projection separation one socket from another |
| socket | shaped hole or connection |
