Abstract

Studies have indicated the heterogeneity of periodontal diseases and have suggested several pathogens that may play important etiologic roles. The risk associated with individual pathogens or combinations of pathogens has been assessed, and diagnostic tests have been developed for their detection in clinical practice. Strategies are being devised to improve treatment by using appropriate agents to control different periodontal infections.
