Abstract

Periodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease affecting the periodontal tissues and leading to tooth loss if left untreated. Traditional approaches focus on mechanical debridement and antibiotic therapy; however, advancements in dental technology have introduced innovative, minimally invasive techniques and regenerative therapies. This study explores modern treatment modalities such as laser-assisted therapies, host modulation, and guided tissue regeneration. Additionally, the potential of stem cell therapies and nanotechnology in periodontal treatment is highlighted. The study provides dental practitioners with evidence-based insights into these advanced techniques, focusing on their efficacy, limitations, and potential future applications.
