Dr. Sneha Puri

Abstract :

Periodontal disease though is multifactorial it is thought to be caused by group of gram negative anaerobic bacteria resulting in destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The current treatment of periodontitis is non specific and is centered on removal of supragingival and subgingival plaque by mechanical deidement and surgical procedures. Due to its high prevalence rate this disease has created an innovative interest to find a solution in the form of vaccine. Vaccine is the name applied generally to a substance of the nature of dead or attenuated living infectious material introduced into the body with the object of increasing its power to resist or get rid of a disease. Vaccines are generally prophylactic, i.e. they ameliorate the effects of future infection. One such vaccine considered here is the "Periodontal vaccine". So the aim of this review is to describe in detail about periodontal vaccine.
