Overview

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the tissues that surround and support the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, driven primarily by bacterial plaque and tartar. It progresses from reversible gum inflammation (gingivitis) to periodontitis, in which the supporting bone and soft tissues are destroyed and teeth may eventually be lost. The disease is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting oral health and is linked to broader systemic health. Its management combines plaque control, non-surgical therapies such as scaling and root planing, adjunctive treatments, and, in advanced cases, surgical and regenerative procedures. In the field of Dentistry And Oral Implants it is especially relevant because untreated periodontal disease compromises the bone and soft tissue needed to support dental implants, making periodontal health a prerequisite for successful restoration. Related topics include gingival crevicular fluid as a marker of inflammation, bone grafting and regeneration, and laser-assisted therapy. This journal publishes research touching on several of these aspects, including ozone therapy and low-level laser therapy for periodontal treatment, changes in gingival crevicular fluid during orthodontic treatment, connective tissue graft procedures, bone grafting and ridge reconstruction, and oral health-related quality of life.
