Periodontal Disease Risk Factors and Treatment
Periodontal disease with clinical attachment loss affects approximately 47% of American adults over the age of 30.

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.
