Periodontal diseases affect millions of people around the world and up to 90% of the global population may be affected by some forms of milder periodontal diseases, including gingivitis.[1-3]
In around 10-15% of these high-risk groups, the disease quickly has progressed from chronic gingivitis to severe destructive periodontitis.[4]
Chronic Periodontitis (CP), as we know it today, is a complex disease associated with a chronic oral bacterial infection that result in periodontal inflammation.[5, 6]
Periodontitis has been defined as progressive destruction of supporting tissues of the teeth that may lead to tooth loss.[7]
Periodontitis is characterized by a chronic infection associated with Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria in the dental biofilm.[4]
