Periodontitis (PD) is a bacterially induced disease of the oral cavity and, in the long term, can lead to tooth loss due to the inflammatory degradation of the alveolar bone. For the severe forms of PD, there is a prevalence rate of 11% worldwide, making it one of the most common inflammatory diseases. Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is an early (<35 years) and particularly severe clinical form of PD, whereas chronic periodontitis (CP) usually has a slow and more moderate course. The estimated heritability of PD is 50%. Twin studies and examples where individuals share the same environment and lifestyle yet have different risk for disease, illustrate the strong influence of hereditary factors on the pathogenesis of PD. Several randomized cli...
