TL;DR: The proposed case definition extends beyond description based on severity to include characterization of biological features of the disease and represents a first step towards adoption of precision medicine concepts to the management of periodontitis.

TL;DR: A new periodontitis classification scheme has been adopted, in which forms of the disease previously recognized as "chronic" or "aggressive" are now grouped under a single category ("periodontitis") and are further characterized based on a multi-dimensional staging and grading system as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Ridge preservation using FDBA and a collagen membrane improved ridge height and width dimensions when compared to extraction alone, and these dimensions may be more suitable for implant placement, especially in areas where loss of ridge height would compromise the esthetic result.

TL;DR: Data support the belief that professionally administered plaque control significantly improves gingival inflammation and lowers plaque scores, with some evidence that reinforcement of oral hygiene provides further benefit.
