- Authors
Teles, Ricardo P.; Haffajee, Anne D.; Socransky, Sigmund S.
- Abstract
The article elaborates on the various periodontal diseases caused by microorganisms that reside at or below the gingival margin and discusses the different periodontal therapies for subgingival microbiota. Periodontal therapy would reduce or eliminate pathogenic species. The article focuses on the treatment of the most common form of periodontal infection, chronic periodontitis, and analyzes the impact of various therapies to determine the likely sources of re-infection after therapy.
