Periodontitis, also known as gum disease and pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
Evidence indicates that periodontal disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by infectious organisms and an abnormal immune response to collagen. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition affecting both the gums and the deep structures that house the roots of the teeth.eriodontal disease can cause the teeth to loosen and decay. Individuals with periodontal disease may experience bleeding of the gums when brushing, which is often the first sign of a problem. The gums may also appear swollen and recede away from the teeth.
