In which phase of periodontal disease progression do the increasing numbers of PMNs rush to the site of the periodontal pathogens and, in doing so, destroy healthy gingival connective tissue and migrate through the junctional epithelium to form a “wall of cells” between the plaque biofilm and the sulcus wall?

What histological stage is the lesion in with the following charateristics?: AND what is the timeframe that this happens? Plaque biofilm extends subgingivally and disrupts the attachment of the coronal-most portion of the JE. Macrophages and lymphocytes are most numerous in the connective tissue; PMNs continue to fight bacteria in the sulcus. Sulcular ulceration, bleeding Widening of intercellular spaces in pocket lining. Tissue color, texture, and size changes; increased probing depths
