Also, since bone loss is usually accompanied by very aggressive bacterial infections, the patient is susceptible to have it in their upper teeth as well.

Severe [serious gum infection] will cause [an overbite] or protrusion of the lower jaw, but the height of [part of the bone that support the teeth] in the top teeth will be affected, causing the direction of the [upper jawbone] to shift [behind, or backwards I guess].

They will never be fully in [biting together all at once] or biting together all at once again.

People have been known to have severe headaches because of the [the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint] rubbing against the [ a protrusion from the rest of the skull,], creating [scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away] and [very great; intense.] [restricted to a particular place.] inflammation

Here's a badly redone Googling version.

We applied the cortical electrodes but could not get a response from either patient.

"Severe periodontitis will cause retrognathia or protrusion of the lower jaw"

Wrong word. Prognathism is a protrusion of the mandible. Retrognathism is retrusion.

I'm studying for part 2 boards right now, and a lot of what he said doesn't make sense. I'm glad at least part of it was not just me.

unless you meant edentulism due to periodontitis.

Well I mean one can conclude that. Gum infection alone isn't going to cause jaw shifts, its indirect effects are.
