Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A group of diseases affecting the surrounding and supporting tissues of the teeth constitutes the periodontal disease and includes all diseases of the periodontium. Gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket formation, destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone resulting in mobile teeth symbolizes periodontitis and is accompanied by apical migration of the junctional epithelium onto the root surface. It is considered as one of the major causes of tooth loss. Thus, care must be taken to prevent this disease which leads to bone loss though a slight amount of bone loss is inevitable. This review summarizes the etiologic factors and clinical features of periodontitis. This review also presents the radiological features of periodontitis as well as the vital role of radiograph in determining the prognosis of these cases.
