What are the plus minus numbers in measuring periodontal disease?
The typical numbers used in assessing periodontal disease are depth of the periodontal pocket or sulcus. These are measurements (in millimeters) from the top of the gums to where the gums attach to the tooth. There are usually six points of measurement around each tooth. Three millimeters or less is considered healthy or normal, while higher measurements indicate disease. Dentists and hygienists may also measure periodontal attachment loss, from the CEJ (neck of the tooth) to the depth of the pocket. This is simply another way of assessing periodontal disease. They can also assess mobility of the teeth and record how many areas bleed during these measurements.
When does gingivitis become periodontal disease?
Gingivitis is distinguished from periodontal disease (periodontitis) by the lack of periodontal attachment loss (PAL). PAL is determined by measuring the depth of the space between the tooth and gum (sulcus) with a dental probe, and by measuring the distance from the depth of the sulcus to the cemento-enamel junction, the point dividing the clinical crown from the root of the tooth. A probe depth of 3mm or less is typically considered to be normal. The deeper the depth, the more advanced the periodontitis. Gingivitis is simply inflamed gums with no loss of periodontal attachment. Once there is measurable loss of attachment, it is called periodontitis.
What are the measurements dentists use for periodontal disease?
I think you are referring to the measurements on the 'periodontal Probe'...basically a milimeter ruler that the dentist uses to measure the 'pocket depth' of the gingival sulcas. you want 3 mm or lower.

How does one fold a pocket square?
There are many different ways to tie a pocket square, the easiest among them is known as the "Presidential Fold". First, lay the pocket square on a flat surface, then fold it in half. Next, fold one side up, how far one goes depends on the depth of the pocket. Lastly, place the folded square in the pocket, leaving about one quarter of an inch visible.
What is ADA procedure code 09241?
It is for locally administered antimicrobials (i.e., Arestin, Atridox, or PerioChip) which is not typically paid for by the dental insurance companies and runs about $35 per applied site but worth every penny in my opinion though it has not been proven in clinical trials to reduce tooth loss. It is applied for the reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis and it may also be used as part of a periodontal maintenance program, which includes good oral hygiene.
What is normal sulcus depth?
Normal sulcus depth can vary depending on the individual, but a typical range is between 1-3mm. Measurements beyond this range may indicate a potential issue that should be further evaluated by a dental professional.
