【 摘 要 】

Periodontal disease, a bacterially mediated inflammatory disease of the gingival and adjacent periodontal attachment apparatus, represents, after dental caries, the leading cause of tooth loss among adults in developed countries due to the destruction of the periodontal ligament and the loss of the adjacent supporting bone, the tissues which support the teeth (Pihlstrom et al., 2005).
