Abstract

Periodontology and its effects on Human Teeth

Sherif Abdelaal

Periodontology or periodontics (from Ancient Greek περ?, perí – 'around'; and ?δο?ς, odoús – 'tooth', genitive ?δ?ντος, odóntos) is the forte of dentistry that reviews supporting constructions of teeth, just as sicknesses and conditions that influence them. The supporting tissues are known as the periodontium, which incorporates the gingiva (gums), alveolar bone, cementum, and the periodontal tendon. A periodontist is a dental specialist that spends significant time in the anticipation, analysis and treatment of periodontal illness and in the position of dental inserts.
