Periodontitis Etiology, Diagnosis, Current and Future Therapy. A Literature review
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-18)It is becoming clear that periodontitis is an inflammatory disease initiated by oral microbial biofilm, and likely due to poor oral hygiene and the failure of host immune system.
