Definition from own experience or research:
Odvajanje zubnog mesa od zubiju

Example sentence(s):
  • Uz karijes, najrasprostranjenije kronične bolesti su parodontne bolesti, o kojima većina ljudi malo zna, pa je i prevencija njihova nastanka prilično slaba. Pojam parodontna bolest obuhvaća sva upalna i neupalna zbivanja u parodontu. Parodont je funkcijska cjelina pojedinih tkiva koja podupiru zube, tj. potporni ili vezivni aparat koji se sastoji od zubnog mesa (gingive), dezmodonta (parodontna vlakna između korijena zuba i kosti), cementa zuba i alveolne kosti. Upalne promjene zubnog mesa (gingive) označavamo kao gingivitis, a ako bolest zahvati i dublje dijelove parodonta, posebno alveolnu kost, govorimo o parodontitisu. Povlačenje zubnog mesa bez upalne komponente zovemo recesija gingive. - http://www.vasezdravlje.com
