Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a common medical condition. It is known as gingivitis in its early stage, which is characterized by swollen and bleeding gums. In its advanced stage, it leads to the inflammation of the periodontium. Ineffective oral hygiene may result in the accumulation of a bacterial and mycotic matrix on the gum line. This is known as dental plaque. It is the most common cause of periodontitis. Some ways to prevent periodontitis include following a healthy oral health regime including proper brushing and daily flossing, using an antiseptic mouthwash, regular dental check-ups, etc. The treatment methods of periodontitis include nonsurgical scaling and root planing, antibiotics and surgery in severe cases. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontitis. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying dentistry.
