Periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, affect up to 90% of the global population. Management focuses on controlling bacterial biofilm and risk factors to prevent tooth loss and associated health issues.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent, affecting up to 90% of the global population.
  • Gingivitis, a reversible form, is caused by bacterial biofilm (plaque) on gums.
  • Periodontitis leads to irreversible loss of tooth-supporting tissues and is a major cause of adult tooth loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of periodontal diseases.
  • To discuss the etiology, risk factors, and systemic associations of periodontal diseases.
  • To outline current prevention and treatment strategies for periodontal diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of periodontal diseases.
  • Analysis of etiological factors including bacterial biofilm, genetics, and environmental influences.

  • Examination of systemic associations and manifestations of periodontal disorders.

    • Main Results:

    • Periodontal diseases are multifactorial, influenced by bacterial plaque, host genetics, and environmental factors like tobacco use.
    • Various systemic conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, show associations with periodontal disease, though causality is not always established.
    • Periodontal manifestations can occur in patients with genetic, dermatological, haematological, and other systemic disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases rely on controlling bacterial biofilm and modifiable risk factors.
    • Early intervention is crucial to arrest disease progression and prevent irreversible damage.
    • Further research is needed to establish causal links between periodontal diseases and systemic conditions.
