Abstract:
BACKGROUND:As one of common oral diseases, periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress on periodontitis treatment.
METHODS:A computer-based search was performed on the PubMed database and CNKI database for articles addressing periodontitis treatment. The key words were“periodontitis, treatment, tissue engineering, gene engineering”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, a total of 57 articles were included to review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, the majority of scholars are stil focus to improve periodontal tissue, promote the regeneration and repair of periodonttal tissue. With the development of tissue engineering and gene technology in recent years, periodontitis has been treated from multiple perspectives and multiple aspects, to solve the problems of patients with periodontitis. However, some treatment methods are stil in their early stage and need in-depth research.
