The economic and societal impact of periodontal and peri-implant diseases

Muhammad H A Saleh et al. Periodontol 2000. .

Abstract

Periodontal and peri-implant diseases result from a chronic inflammatory response to dysbiotic microbial communities and are characterized by inflammation in the soft tissue and the ensuing progressive destruction of supporting bone, resulting in tooth or implant loss. These diseases' high prevalence, multifactorial etiology, extensive treatment costs, and significant detriment to patients' quality-of-life underscore their status as a critical public health burden. This review delineates the economic and sociocultural ramifications of periodontal and peri-implant diseases on patient welfare and healthcare economics. We delve into the implications of diagnosis, treatment, supportive care, and managing destructive tissue consequences, contrasting these aspects with healthy patients.

Keywords: diagnosis; economic burden; non‐surgical therapy; periodontitis; peri‐implant diseases; prevention; regeneration; resective surgery; societal burden.
