There is literary evidence of pictorial representations of the nine stages of decay from China during the Tang dynasty, including Baoji's poem Contemplation on the Mural of the Nine Stages of a Decaying Corpse (c. 618-907 AD).

Chronic periodontitis is initiated by Gram-negative tooth-associated microbial biofilms that elicit a host response, which results in bone and soft tissue destruction. In response to endotoxin derived from periodontal pathogens, several osteoclast-related mediators target the destruction of alveolar bone and supporting connective tissue such as the periodontal ligament.
