Description:Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection characterised by
persistent inflammation, connective tissue breakdown and alveolar bone
destruction. The chronic inflammation associated with periodontal
disease represents the host response to bacterial plaque, mediated by
the environment in which the response occurs. This book presents topical
research data in the study of periodontal disease, including aesthetic
periodontal therapy and root coverage techniques; clinical features of
periodontal diseases in children and adolescents; biomechanics and the
perioprosthetic patient; maternal periodontitis and perinatal outcomes;
identifying patients with enhanced disease susceptibility in periodontal
disease; and, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in
periodontal disease.
