Pus you mean?
An inflammatory exudate formed within the tissues consisting of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, degenerated and liquefied tissue elements, microorganisms, and tissue fluids. It may form within the tissues in periodontitis and escape via the ulcerated pocket epithelium into the oral environment. The suppurative material may be retained within the tissues when the orifice of the periodontal pocket is blocked, thus creating a favorable circumstance for the formation of a periodontal abscess.
