Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic diseases globally, and its diagnosis and treatment have come a long way from the times when the only answer was tooth extraction to the present-day evidence-based guidelines. Its multifactorial pathogenesis involves complex interactions among dysbiotic plaque and destructive immune responses. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the increased frequency and severity of periodontitis in the global population, with a tendency to increase with age. The disease has also been linked to various systemic conditions, and some studies have suggested that it plays a causal role in stimulating an immune-inflammatory response. If periodontitis is treated using professional bacterial biofilm control, it can be slowed down or stopped in most cases; however, if any factor affects either the local environment or the host response, progression of the disease may occur. Clinicians are still seeking additional therapy tools and agents, which could be of benefit in periodontal therapy and help maintain oral health.
In this Special Issue, we aim to publish new and relevant information and results from recent investigations focusing on different aspects of periodontal diseases, including etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of different periodontal conditions in the context of oral and general health.
