Abstract

Periodontal disease management is advancing with multifaceted approaches. Host modulation therapy significantly improves clinical outcomes by targeting inflammation. New strategies include probiotics, laser applications, and regenerative therapies aimed at tissue restoration. Recognizing the bidirectional link between periodontal and systemic health drives personalized medicine, leveraging individual patient characteristics and microbial profiles. Artificial Intelligence is enhancing diagnosis and treatment planning, improving accuracy and predictions. Conversely, smoking profoundly impacts periodontal health and therapy response, underscoring the critical role of cessation. Overall, the field integrates innovative techniques and a holistic view for enhanced patient care.
