Periodontal disease with clinical attachment loss affects approximately 47% of American adults over the age of 30. The development and progression of chronic periodontitis depends on a number of factors including risk and the host response. Treatment options include nonsurgical therapy which may also use adjunctive therapies, and surgical therapy. Regular re-evaluation and periodontal maintenance is essential for patients who have been treated for periodontal disease.
