| suppurative periodontitis | Periodontitis accompanied by purulent exudate. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| apical periodontitis | Inflammation of the periodontal ligament surrounding the root apex of a tooth; usually a consequence of pulpal inflammation or necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periapical periodontitis | Inflammation of the periapical tissue. It includes general, unspecified, or acute nonsuppurative inflammation. Chronic nonsuppurative inflammation is periapical granuloma. Suppurative inflammation is periapical abscess. (12 Dec 1998) |
| periodontitis | Gum disease, gingivitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| periodontitis complex | Vertical resorption of the alveolar process with pockets of uneven depth on adjacent teeth, and with traumatic occlusion as a factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periodontitis, juvenile | Localised periodontitis in teenagers and young adults. The onset is during the circumpubertal period but the diagnosis can be made beyond puberty. Lesions are confined predominantly to the first permanent molars or incisors and the distribution of lesions is usually symmetrical. The gingiva may appear normal. The lesions are highly active immediately following puberty but later destruction may slow or cease spontaneously. The disease is four times more prevalent in females than males and more prevalent in african americans than in other races or ethnic groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| periodontitis simplex | Horizontal resorption of the alveolar process with pockets of even depth on adjacent teeth; traumatic occlusion is not a factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile periodontitis | A degenerative periodontal disease of adolescents in which the periodontal destruction is out of proportion to the local irritating factors present on the adjacent teeth; inflammatory changes become superimposed, and bone loss, migration, and extrusion are observed. Two forms are recognised: 1) localised, in which the destruction is limited to the incisors and first molars; 2) generalised, involving all of the teeth. Synonym: periodontosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumococcal/suppurative keratitis | A severe, creeping, central, suppurative ulcer often due to pneumococci. Synonym: pneumococcal/suppurative keratitis, serpent ulcer of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative | Tending to suppurate; promoting suppuration. <medicine> Suppurative fever, pyaemia. Origin: Cf. F. Suppuratif. <medicine> A suppurative medicine. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| suppurative appendicitis | Acute appendicitis with purulent exudate in the lumen and wall of the appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative arthritis | Acute inflammation of synovial membranes, with purulent effusion into a joint, due to bacterial infection; the usual route of infection is hemic to the synovial tissue, causing destruction of the articular cartilage, and may become chronic, with sinus formation, osteomyelitis, deformity, and disability. Synonym: purulent synovitis, pyarthrosis, pyogenic arthritis, suppurative synovitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative choroiditis | Purulent inflammation of the choroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative encephalitis | Encephalitis of bacterial aetiology. Synonym: encephalitis pyogenica, purulent encephalitis, suppurative encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative gingivitis | Gingivitis in which a purulent exudate can be expressed from the gingival surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
