    Severity[edit]

    The 'severity' of disease refers to the amount of periodontal ligament fibers that have been lost,
    termed 'clinical attachment loss'. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, the
    classification of severity is as follows:[6]

    Mild: 12 mm (0.0390.079 in) of attachment loss

    Moderate: 34 mm (0.120.16 in) of attachment loss

    Severe: 5 mm (0.20 in) of attachment loss
