Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the periodontal tissues. In dentistry, there is another disease with a similar name - periodontosis. It is characterized by the same changes, but they develop without an accompanying inflammatory process.

Periodontal tissues include gums, blood vessels, ligaments and bones. All of these structures firmly fix the teeth and provide them with normal nutrition. As the inflammatory process progresses, these functions are disrupted, which leads to the appearance of characteristic symptoms. The main danger of periodontitis, like periodontitis, is the development of tooth mobility with subsequent loss of teeth. Therefore, both diseases require early diagnosis and effective treatment.
