Genetic And Environmental Factors Contributing To The Susceptibility Of Periodontal Disease In Adults

Abstract

Periodontal disease, a persistent inflammatory disorder impacting the gums and supporting dental tissues, is affected by both hereditary and environmental variables. This paper analyzes the interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental variables, including smoking, food, and dental hygiene, in relation to the incidence of periodontal disease in adults. Recent research on genetic markers, lifestyle variables, and systemic health enhance the knowledge of illness susceptibility and development, informing tailored preventive therapy.
