summary

After suffering from periodontitis, many friends don't pay attention to it. They think it's very common and won't bring harm to everyone. As a result, they suffer from unbearable pain and suffering. In order to better understand the disease and treat it more effectively, let's introduce what causes periodontitis.

What reason is periodontitis?

Experts point out that the root cause of periodontitis is gingival atrophy. The latest research has found that gingival atrophy is caused by the gradual disappearance of certain brain hormone secretion levels after adulthood, resulting in the digestive system unable to absorb the vitamins most needed by the gums. It can be said that it is a natural defect of human beings, so people will have different degrees of gingival atrophy after adulthood, Severe gingival atrophy is an important cause of periodontitis.

There are many causes of periodontitis, such as long-term accumulation of dental plaque, dental calculus, food impaction, bad prosthesis, bite wound and so on. In addition, due to the characteristics of subgingival micro ecological environment, a large number of periodontal pathogenic bacteria with high virulence, such as Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides intermedia, spirochetes, etc., grow in subgingival plaque, which aggravates and expands gingival inflammation, It leads to periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption, resulting in periodontitis.

Local promoting factors refer to the local factors of oral cavity, teeth and occlusion that affect periodontal health. Plaque biofilm is the initiating factor of inflammation and destruction of periodontal tissue. Some local factors, such as calculus, crowding of teeth, abnormal anatomical shape, bad prosthesis, protrusion of filling body, occlusal trauma, food impaction, etc., can promote the retention and accumulation of plaque, hinder the removal of plaque, and bacteria begin to grow and reproduce subgingivally, Periodontal destruction occurs when the balance between host defense mechanisms and microorganisms is broken.

matters needing attention

Although this disease will not let you bear the injury at the beginning, but after a long time, it will cause tooth pain, serious words, it will also cause gingivitis, gingival atrophy and other diseases, in this case, it is a great threat to everyone's oral health.
