Abstract

Periodontal disease is a disease of periodontal tissues of a dystrophic nature. Periodontal tissues include tissues whose main task is to hold the tooth in the jaw bone. These include: the gum; the ligamentous apparatus that holds the tooth — the periodontium; the tooth cement — the outer surface of the tooth covering its root; and the alveolar part of the jaw bone.
