Fast Facts

On this week’s episode, we begin the dialog around the 2017 AAP classification systems by talking about periodontal health. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology proposed that there were four distinctive levels of periodontal health, depending on the state of the periodontium itself.

This week kicks off the conversation about taking a look at the American Periodontology and the way that their World Federation workshop in 2017 changed the way we were expected to look at, diagnose, and address diseases of the periodontium.

This week we’re going to unpack weird facts and this is coming to us from a study from Genesis publications. This weird fact is kind of an interesting postulation, if you will. This study, entitled The covid-19 Pathway, proposes the fact that there could be an alternative route of sars-cov-2 infection.

So let’s talk about the CEJ or the relationship of cementum and enamel. So we know that the relationship of cementum to enamel margins are going to vary.
