Etymology

Ulatophia can be remembered by thinking of ulato- like the familiar word 'ultra' meaning 'beyond' and -phia as a 'condition', so imagine the gums moving 'beyond' their normal place. That's why ulatophia means a condition where the gums pull back from the teeth and the roots become exposed.
