Diseases of the supporting tissues of the teeth [periodontitis/pyorrhoea] are the major cause of tooth loss in India and abroad in this modern world. Recent data shows that Periodontitis if left untreated can not only leads to premature tooth loss but can also affect heart, pancreas and other organs of the body. It can also contributes to many pregnancy problems like low birth weight and premature babies. Literature shows that a completely edentulous individual leads a life which is 10 years shorter than an a individual whose are intact with healthy periodontal support.

In the initial stages periodontitis is almost curable. In the later stages also it is curable but the success depends on the extend of damage to the supporting bone and level of oral hygiene maintenance of the patient. .
