PERIODONTAL DISEASE:
|
Periodontitis refers to a number of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium — that is, the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Periodontitis is caused by bacteria that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces, along with an overly aggressive immune response against these bacteria. A diagnosis of periodontitis is established by inspecting the soft gum tissues around the teeth with a probe and radiographs by visual analysis, to determine the amount of bone loss around the teeth. Specialists in the treatment of periodontitis are periodontists; their field is known as "periodontology" and "periodontics". Chronic Periodontitis, the most common form of the gum disease, progresses relatively slowly and typically becomes clinically evident in adulthood. Aggressive Periodontitis is a rarer form, but as its name implies, progresses more rapidly and becomes clinically evident in adolescence. Although the different forms of periodontitis are all caused by bacterial infections, a variety of factors affect the severity of the disease. Important "risk factors" include smoking, poorly-controlled diabetes, and inherited (genetic) susceptibility Periodontitis is very common, and is widely regarded as the second most common disease worldwide, after dental decay, and in the United States has a prevalence of 30-50% of the population, but only about 10% have severe forms. Studies found an association between ethnic origin and periodontal diseases. In the USA, African-Americans have a higher prevalence of periodontal disease compared with Latin individuals as well as non-Hispanic people of European descent. In Israeli population, individuals of Yemenite, North-African, Asian, or Mediterranean origin have higher prevalence of periodontal disease than individuals from European descent.[1] This could be attributed to genetic predisposition as well as social-cultural-behavioral differences (eg., smoking, oral hygiene, access to dental treatment) between populations. In Europe, bio-oxidative therapy has been used, and found to be effective against periodontal disease! For more information on how to stay healthy with bio-oxidative therapy . . . . . CLICK HERE!
