gingivitis
Gingivitis ("inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-
destructive periodontal disease.[1] The most
common form of gingivitis, and the most common
form of periodontal disease overall, is in response to
bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) adherent to
tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis. In
the absence of treatment, gingivitis may progress to
periodontitis, which is a destructive form of
periodontal disease.[2]
While in some sites or individuals gingivitis never
progresses to periodontitis,[3] data indicates that
periodontitis is always preceded by gingivitis

periodontitis
Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if
left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
Periodontitis is caused by microorganisms that adhere to and grow on the
tooth's surfaces, along with an overly aggressiveimmune response against
these microorganisms. A diagnosis of periodontitis is established by inspecting
the soft gum tissues around the teeth with a probe (i.e., a clinical examination)
and by evaluating the patient's X-ray films (i.e. a radiographic examination), to
determine the amount of bone loss around the teeth.[1] Specialists in the
treatment of periodontitis are periodontists; their field is known as
"periodontology" or "periodontics".
The word "periodontitis" comes from the Greek peri, "around", odous (genitive
odontos), "tooth", and the suffix -itis, in medical terminology "inflammation".

calculus
in dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental
plaque. It is caused by the continual accumulation of
minerals from saliva on plaque on the teeth. Its rough
surface provides an ideal medium for further plaque
formation, threatening the health of the gingiva.
Brushing and flossing can remove plaque from which
calculus forms; however, once formed, it is too hard and
firmly attached to be removed with a toothbrush. Calculus
buildup can be professionally removed with ultrasonic
tools and specialized sharp instruments during a dental
visit.

dental plauqe
Dental plaque is a biofilm, usually a pale
yellow, that develops naturally on the
teeth. Like any biofilm, dental plaque is
formed by colonizing bacteria trying to
attach themselves to a smooth surface (of
a tooth).[1] It has been speculated that
plaque forms part of the defense systems
of the host by helping to prevent
colonization by microorganisms which
may be pathogenic
