| periodontal pocket |
The periodontal pocket is the space between the gum and the tooth as associated with periodontitis. The deepening space is cause by the destruction of the peridontal ligament attachment and supporting tissues. The pocket is often lined with ulcerated and inflamed tissue. As the pocket becomes deeper, it becomes more and more difficult to clean out accumulated plaque and calculus.
