Abstract :

 

Periodontal diseases are caused by pathogenic bacteria locally colonized in the dental biofilm creating infection and subsequent intricate inflammatory response in the periodontal tissues in response to challenge by dental biofilm¹.This inflammation can result in the destruction of the supporting structures, loss of periodontal attachment, pocket formation, loss of alveolar bone and eventual tooth loss. . The possible pathogenesis of periodontitis is an immune–inflammatory reaction provoked by the existence of plaque bacteria developing in the periodontal tissue. The sustained inflammatory mediators and host cellular components release proteolytic enzymes that damage soft and hard tissues. Its inception and evolution are modulated by a variety of risk factors, such as poor oral hygiene, genetics, tobacco and alcohol consumption, poor nutrition, stress, and impaired host immune responses. Various systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, hematologic diseases, and psychosomatic diseases, may play an imperative role in progression of periodontal diseases. Recognizing and eradicating these risk factors which influence inflammation can provide means by which to limit periodontal tissue destruction.
