You guessed it to continue the conversation about AAP staging. Last week we looked at stage one periodontitis and how we classify patients that are standing on that border land between gingivitis and periodontitis. This week we talk about stage two periodontitis, and I want to be very clear when we talk about stage two periodontitis for our patients, we’re specifically talking about patients who have likely been residing in a stage one periodontitis situation and have now experienced, as the Academy calls it “established periodontitis”.

So buckle up if you’re in your car or even if you’re not in your car, still buckle up because it’s going to be amazing. Today we’re going to be talking about the AAP staging guidelines. We’re going to do an overview today, and then in the coming weeks, we’re going to look at stage one, two, three, and four periodontitis and how the AAP has come to classify periodontitis, of course, based on these stages.
