Chronic periodontitis - what does this mean

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth caused by bacterial plaque, resulting in the destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, leading to tooth loss.

What happens during the disease - chronic periodontitis

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth caused by the presence of bacterial biofilms. these biofilms produce toxins and enzymes that damage the gums and supporting structures, leading to inflammation, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. this inflammatory response is further exacerbated by the presence of local risk factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, and systemic conditions such as diabetes, which can also contribute to the progression of the disease.
