Iatrogenic Factors Affecting the Periodontium: An Overview

Ravi Varma Prasad et al. Open Dent J. .

Abstract

The principal reason of gingival inflammation is bacterial plaque, along with other predisposing factors. These predisposing factors are calculus, malocclusion, faulty restorations, complications associated with orthodontic therapy, self- inflicted injuries, use of tobacco & radiation therapy. The contributing factors to gingival inflammation & periodontal destruction are deficient dental restorations and prosthesis. Inadequate dental procedures that add to the weakening of the periodontal tissues are referred to as iatrogenic factors.

Keywords: Bacteria; calculus; iatrogenic damage; inflammation; plaque; radiation therapy; restoration..
