Next-Generation Examination, Diagnosis, and Personalized Medicine in Periodontal Disease.

ABSTRACT: Periodontal disease, a major cause of tooth loss, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria with the additional aspect of being a noncommunicable disease closely related to lifestyle. Tissue destruction based on chronic inflammation is influenced by host and environmental factors. The treatment of periodontal disease varies according to the condition of each individual patient. Although guidelines provide standardized treatment, optimization is difficult because of the wide range of treatment options and variations in the ideas and skills of the treating practitioner. The new medical concepts of "precision medicine" and "personalized medicine" can provide more predictive treatment than conventional methods by stratifying patients in detail and prescribing treatment methods accordingly.
