en inglés

Periodontal attachment refers to the structures that surround the tooth and support it in its position. It consists of the cementum, which covers the root of the tooth, and the periodontal fibers, which connect the cementum to the alveolar bone. The assessment of periodontal attachment can help to understand tooth prognosis and periodontal disease progression.
