Periodontitis: a host‐mediated disruption of microbial homeostasis. Unlearning learned concepts

Open access

Abstract

New concepts evolve when existing ones fail to address known factors adequately or are invalidated by new evidence. For decades periodontitis has been considered to be caused by specific bacteria or groups of bacteria and, accordingly, treatment protocols have largely been based on anti‐infective therapies. However, close inspection of current data leads one to question whether these bacteria are the cause or the result of periodontitis. Good evidence is emerging to suggest that it is indeed the host response to oral bacteria that leads to the tissue changes noted in gingivitis. These changes lead to an altered subgingival environment that favors the emergence of ‘periodontal pathogens’ and the subsequent development of periodontitis if the genetic and external environmental conditions are favorable for disease development. Thus, it seems that it is indeed the initial early host‐inflammatory and immune responses occurring during the development of gingivitis, and not specific bacteria or their so‐called virulence factors, which determine whether periodontitis develops and progresses. In this review we consider these concepts and their potential to change the way in which we view and manage the inflammatory periodontal diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
