Periodontitis Periodontitis (Ancient Greek πᾰρά + Ancient Greek στόμα “circumoral”, from Ancient Greekπᾶρον “full-toothed jaw”, from πᾶς - “whole” + μετάδοντνα - “mouth, teeth as a whole”) - a set tissues surrounding the tooth.

The main function of the periodontium is to hold the tooth in the jaw bone, providing nutrition and blood supply to the tooth and periodontal tissues. He maintains its constant height and attaches it to the alveoli of the jaws. The periodontium takes part of its material from the jaw, for which each trapezoidal formation has at least 20 small alveoli; adjacent trapezoids communicate - this ensures continuity around the tooth. Thus, a constant height of the alveolar process is maintained. For periodontal diseases, consultation with a therapist or periodontist is important: the doctor will prescribe treatment and suggest additional preventive measures.
