A. An infrabony pocket
B. A pseudopocket
C. A true periodontal pocket

- Pseudopocket/ gingival pocket/relative or false pocket is formed by gingival enlargement without destruction of underlying periodontal tissues
- True/absolute /periodontal pocket is formed by destruction of supporting periodontal tissues and attachment loss.
- Suprabony/supracrestal/Supraalveolar pocket is formed when bottom of pocket is coronal to underlying alveolar bone
- Infrabony/intrabony/subcrestal /intra-alveolar is formed where bottom of pocket is apical to level to adjacent alveolar bone.
