Abstract

Gum health is of an important concern as gum health do had a connection with the systemic health. Periodontology is specialized branch of dentistry, which deals with structures surrounding the teeth (gums) and supporting the teeth (periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone). Henceforth the field of Periodontology is important as it helps to reverse from the diseased condition of gums to a state of healthy condition of gums if the disease is detected at an early stage. Hence the field of Periodontology helps to keep the systemic condition also healthy as the gums infection can spread to involve the systemic organ too and puts the individual life at risk. Hence by restoring the gum health, a periodontist also plays a crucial role in taking care of the systemic health too.
