Role of Periodontal Microbiota in Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is no longer perceived as a simple infection, but is a complicated situation that is triggered by changes in the periodontal microbiota. The state of the equilibrium between the beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms plays the primary role in sustaining the periodontal health or in causing tissue destruction. The monograph, Role of Periodontal Microbiota in Periodontal Disease, is a concise review of the role of microbial dysbiosis in periodontal disease initiation, development, and clinical outcome. This work will, hopefully, assist students, clinicians, and researchers by highlighting important concepts, recent scientific discoveries, and their clinical importance in order to help them gain a clear understanding of the microbiological basis of periodontal disease. I wish that this writing would be a useful work and that those who are interested to read would explore more in this fast-developing sector.
