TL;DR: This review examines literature data concerning the bacterial findings in chronic periodontitis depending on pocket depth, and presents the latest published information on the presence of proinflammatory factors in periodontal environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that increasing levels of some specific pathogenic subgingival bacteria such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia and others can result in periodontal destruction and possibly correlate with disease severity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a minimal amount of attached gingiva is necessary to ensure the gingival health and adjunctive surgical techniques would be helpful to achieve better aesthetic outcomes.
