Periodontitis adjunct therapy

Periodontitis adjunct therapy is an indicated clinical state and treatment setting applied to patients with periodontitis—a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone Initiated by a dysbiotic subgingival bacterial biofilm and propagated by a dysregulated host immune response, the underlying condition leads to progressive destruction of tooth-supporting structures

Periodontitis adjunct therapy is an indicated clinical state and treatment setting applied to patients with periodontitis—a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone It is clinically defined by gingival inflammation, bleeding on probing, pathologic periodontal pocket formation, loss of clinical attachment, and radiographic bone resorption Adjunct therapy designates a management setting where p...

Adjunct therapy designates a management setting where pharmacologic agents—such as local or systemic antimicrobials and host-modulating drugs—are administered alongside conventional mechanical debridement, typically scaling and root planing, to suppress residual pathogens, modulate tissue degradation, and promote periodontal pocket reduction
