Overview

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues that support the teeth, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. They begin with bacterial dental plaque, which provokes gingival inflammation that, if untreated, can progress to periodontitis with loss of attachment and supporting bone, ultimately threatening tooth retention. Management combines oral hygiene, mechanical removal of plaque and calculus, and, in some cases, adjunctive or surgical therapies. The articles gathered here address the assessment, treatment, and supporting tissues of the periodontium. Diagnostic and inflammatory markers feature in work on changes in gingival crevicular fluid volume and flow rate during orthodontic treatment, a fluid that reflects the inflammatory state of the periodontal tissues. Therapeutic approaches are represented by ozone therapy in the treatment of periodontal disease and by low-level laser therapy combined with non-surgical periodontal treatment to reduce inflammatory cytokine levels. Surgical and regenerative procedures appear in studies of connective tissue grafting with laser-assisted root preparation and of techniques aimed at preserving tissue around implants. Biomechanical and structural aspects of tooth support are also considered, alongside grafting materials relevant to the periodontal and peri-implant context. Together these contributions reflect the central concerns of periodontology: understanding the inflammatory response to plaque, measuring and reducing periodontal inflammation, and applying non-surgical, laser, and surgical strategies to preserve the tissues that anchor the teeth.
