Abstract:
Humans began to manifest parodontal symptoms due to aggravating oral hygienic conditions since beginning to eat processed food approximately 10,000 years ago. It is believed that tooth brushing in some from began at the same time. Periodontal disease was first described 1,000 years ago in a book, in which the concept of a scaler was introduced along with techniques for removing dental calculus. Currently, scaling remains one of the major preventive and therapeutic for periodontal disease. Recently, however surgical treatment has also been employed and preventive vaccines have received intense investigation.
