The gingival sulcus is a shallow space between the marginal gingiva and the tooth. The sulcus depth is generally under 1 mm but varies depending on the specific tooth and the size of the cat. In cases of periodontal disease, the abnormal sulcus is termed a pocket, which extends further apically due to destruction of the periodontium (Figure 1.8).
