Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are chronic bacterial infections with a remarkably high prevalence and morbidity.
Periodontitis, in contrast to gingivitis, is not reversible, is associated with certain bacterial species and affects all of the soft tissue and bone that support teeth.
Dr. Thomas Rams is a board-certified periodontist with over 25 years of private dental practice experience limited to periodontics. Thomas Ramms, DDS speaks about Anti-Infective Periodontal Treatment.
