Study Notes
Periodontitis Etiology
- Substrate for plaque in the etiology of periodontitis is considered as a key factor.
Observations and Factors
- M.Karolyi observed in 1901 that periodontal destruction spreads from tooth to tooth.
- According to König KG, local factors contribute to the spread of destruction in periodontitis.
- Early perception of local factors is considered an early perception factor in the etiology of periodontitis.
Infections and Hypotheses
- Glickman & Smulow hypothesize that local infections, such as endotoxic and enzymatic infections, are involved in the plaque hypothesis.
Key Factors
- K.Fawzy emphasized that local factors are key in the etiology of periodontal diseases.
- M.Karolyi observed in 1901 that periodontal destruction spreads from tooth to tooth.
- König KG emphasized that local factors contribute to the spread of destruction in periodontitis.
- Glickman & Smulow hypothesized that local infections, such as endotoxic and enzymatic infections, are involved in the plaque hypothesis.
Etiology of Periodontal Diseases
- "Biofilm, Plaque, Bacterial-cluster" are highlighted as key factors in the etiology of periodontal diseases by Glickman & Smulow.
