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”.

We’re going to start the conversation about AAP staging Woohoo, so awesome and one of my favorite topics! 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.

On this week’s episode, we begin looking at gingivitis, beginning by looking at dental biofilm induced gingivitis and even more specifically, looking at localized or predisposing factors. Now, to clarify, when we talk specifically about plaque induced gingivitis, I want to be very clear, this is when biofilm levels have begun to build up. And if we do not see any disruption or removal of this dental plaque accumulation over days or weeks, we’re going to begin to see what’s called an incipient dysbiosis.

On this week’s episode, we continue the dialog about the AAP classification system and more specifically, dental biofilm induced gingivitis. This week we are looking at systemic or modifying factors for patients that present with dental biofilm induced gingivitis. And I want to be clear.

On this week’s episode, we continue the convo around the AAP classification system from 2017 and this week we are going to talk about gingivitis. Specifically gingivitis according to the American Academy of Periodontology, is now going to be split out into two major categories. Now, before we get into these categories, I want to be very clear.
