Abstract

A periodontal pocket refers to an unusually deep gingival sulcus. When the sulcular depth exceeds three millimeters, regular brushing cannot effectively remove debris from the area. At this point, dental intervention is necessary in order to thoroughly clean the infected area. If a deep gingival sulcus is not attended to, debris build-up could lead to a weakened tooth due to the loosening of the attachment fibers that hold teeth in place. This article throws light on the normal appearance of the gingiva, gingival disease periodontal pockets, etc. A review of some patents on periodontal pockets is also provided that summarizes the recent advancements taken place in this area.
