This book provides a concise account of the pathological processes involved in periodontal disease. Ideas based on contemporary research are presented in a clearcut and unambiguous way. The first chapter gives a broad overview of periodontal disease and is followed by accounts of the periodontium in health and disease. The book then deals with the micro-organisms implicated in periodontal disease and evaluates their significance. The host responses to factors present in dental plaque are discussed, followed by an account of the interactions between bacteria and the host which cause tissue damage.
