periodontiumn.

Brit.

/ˌpɛrɪəˈdɒntɪəm/, U.S.

/ˌpɛrioʊˈdɑn(t)ʃiəm/,

/ˌpɛrioʊˈdɑntiəm/

Inflections: Plural periodontia.

Forms: 1800s– periodontium, 1800s– periodontum (now rare).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with English elements; probably modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: peri- prefix, odonto- comb. form, Latin -ium.

Etymology: < peri- prefix + odonto- comb. form + scientific Latin -ium (see -y suffix⁴), probably after French périodonte (1852). Compare earlier periodontal adj.

Anatomy.

Originally: †the periodontal ligament, which invests the root of a tooth (obsolete). In later use: all the tissues surrounding and supporting a tooth, including the alveolar process, the cementum, and the gingiva, as well as the periodontal ligament.
