Abstract
Definitions, nomenclature, terminology and other exercises of naming or describing things have been an inseparable part of science. While a litterateur may ponder the oft quoted Shakespearean question, “What’s in a name?” for scientific enquiry, name is everything. Periodontal literature is no stranger to the rigors of changing nomenclature. The disease entity currently called “Periodontitis” itself has seen a long process of updates in nomenclature, ranging from periodontoclasia, periodontosis, adult periodontitis, chronic periodontitis to the present term of “Periodontitis”.1,2,3
