Abstract

In the last few decades, research in the area of periodontology has exploded, resulting in a better understanding of risks. Latest research has expanded our knowledge about the etiopathogenesis of periodontal disease. While bacteria are needed for periodontitis to evolve, the immune system of the host is responsible for the majority of periodontal disease destruction. Newer risk components are recognized and the pattern of periodontal condition may have been affected by environmental and genetic factors. Research over the past decades has demonstrated that oral hygiene impacts the general health and course of certain systemic illness. The overall objective of research progress is therefore the prevention of disease, the analysis of the continuing disease and the treatment of existing damage.
