2 revisions to the category descriptors:
Editorial actions regarding the definition of “site”.
If two contiguous teeth have areas of soft tissue recession, each area of recession tooth is a single site.
Depending on the dimensions of the defect, up to two contiguous edentulous tooth positions may be considered a single site.
Site: “A term used to describe a single area, position, or locus. The word “site” is frequently used to indicate an area of soft tissue recession on a single tooth or an osseous defect adjacent to a single tooth, also used to indicate soft tissue defects and/or osseous defects in edentulous tooth positions.”
Change:
If two contiguous teeth have areas of soft tissue recession, each tooth is a single site.
If two contiguous teeth have adjacent but separate osseous defects, each defect is a single site.
If two contiguous teeth have a communicating interproximal osseous defect, it should be considered a single site.
All non-communicating osseous defects are single sites
All edentulous non-contiguous tooth positions are single sites
Up to two contiguous edentulous tooth positions may be considered a single site
Tooth Bounded Space: A space created by one or more missing teeth that has a tooth on each side.
