This book provides a systems-based approach to periodontology and offers a scientific roadmap of the interactions which can lead to periodontal disease.The content is divided into five sections. The first introduces the reader to the concept of systems theory and its mathematical foundation. The second section provides the reader with a current view of periodontal medicine including the microbiology, molecular genetics, relationship to systemic disease and current and future therapies. Periodontitis is caused by members of the oral microbiota a... MORE
