    Periodontal pocket is also called as true pocket because clinically the periodontal probe passes apical to CEJ. Gingival pocket is called as pseudo pocket as the probe does not pass apical to CEJ.

    Psuedo pockets also called false pockets or gingival pockets are treated by gingivectomy procedures since the cause of these type of pockets is enlargement of gingival tissue
