Treatment of Periodontal Disease

Description: Periodontal and Gingival Diseases- Progress from the marginal gingiva, Are
infectious diseases, Caused by bacteria. Dental Plaque- Dental Plaque: It is defined clinically as a
structured, resilient, yellowish grey substance that adheres tenaciously to the intraoral hard surfaces
including removable and fixed restorations. Non-specific Plaque Hypothesis- Direct relationship
between amount of dental plaque and degree of periodontal disease, More plaque accumulation
causes more periodontal disease, Patients with a weak host resistance to bacterial plaque or poor
home care are prone to develop extensive periodontal disease. Specific Plaque Hypothesis- A
number of bacteria may cause periodontal disease, All patients with gingivitis dont develop
periodontitis, Specific bacterial pathogens are identified at elevated levels in progressing
periodontal lesions, Some bacteria are responsible for increasing the risk of periodontal destruction
in sites in which they colonized, Successful treatment outcomes are associated with the elimination
of these microorganisms.
