Periodontology, a vital field within dentistry, specializes in diagnosing, preventing, and treating periodontal diseases, which impact the gums, teeth, and underlying bone structures. The significance of periodontology in maintaining overall dental health cannot be overstated. Diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis not only affect oral health but have also been linked to systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues. Effective management of these conditions can prevent severe complications, such as tooth loss and bone degradation.
