Abstract

A severe inflammatory response that eventually destroys the underlying tissue characterizes periodontal diseases, which have a mixed microbiological origin. Several local or systemic risk factors can impact the appearance and progression of periodontal diseases. Although it can affect infants and teenagers as well, periodontal disease is more common in adults. The degree of tooth plaque development and gingival tissue degradation determines the prevalence of periodontal disorders. One of the most important characteristics of severe and persistent periodontitis is site specificity. The degree of attachment loss and tooth bone loss determined by the depth of the periodontal pocket determines the severity of this illness. This review article discusses the aetiology, diagnosis, medical management, and pathophysiology of periodontal disease.

Keywords: Periodontal disease, histopathology, epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, medication
