This work describes the causes of periodontitis, the mechanisms of its development, clinical signs, and methods of prevention and treatment. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the tissues that hold teeth, which, if not treated in a timely manner, leads to loosening and loss of teeth. The study pays special attention to the early and severe stages of periodontitis, the importance of hygienic care, and modern methods of dental treatment. The results of the work show that early detection and prevention of periodontitis are important for maintaining a healthy oral cavity.
