In this chapter, a description of a broad spectrum of oral lesions is listed with a focus on lesions related to the periodontium. The format of the chapter takes into consideration the recently revised classification by Holmstrup and Albandar. The aim is to create an easy reference of pathologic entities tailored to the periodontist. The periodontal pathology encountered, which is by far most common, encompasses the inflammatory processes of gingivitis or periodontitis. However, numerous other lesions exist, which require recognition and subsequent management. Moreover, oral pathology lesions may present anywhere in the oral cavity and gnathic bones. Therefore, periodontists need to be aware of the key characteristics of abnormal presentations regardless of the site. This compilation aids in the creation of a differential diagnosis (Ddx), which is essential in guiding management decisions to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
