Abstract:

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease, characterized by slow progression. The most common pathogenic factor is believed to be infection of the tissues supporting the tooth. Continuous bacterial colonization of the tooth surface leads to chronic inflammation which is accompanied by gingival bleeding, periodontal pocket formation, and destruction of alveolar bone that eventually leads to the loss of the tooth. The influence of exogenous factors destroying the integrity of periodontium and leading to typical inflammatory reactions can be reduced by increasing resistance of the organism to stressful factors. For this reason, clinicians often prescribe the use of biologically active compounds to their affected patients and recommend a balanced diet in combination with oral multivitamins.
