Periodontitis: Consensus report of workgroup 2 of the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.

TL;DR: A new periodontitis classification scheme has been adopted, in which forms of the disease previously recognized as "chronic" or "aggressive" are now grouped under a single category ("periodontitis") and are further characterized based on a multi-dimensional staging and grading system as mentioned in this paper.

Genes and Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: It is revealed that, despite major advances in the awareness of genetic risk factors for periodontal disease (with the exception of periodontitis associated with certain monogenetic conditions), the authors are still some way from determining the genetic basis of both aggressive and chronicperiodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking and Periodontal Disease
