Biofilm in periodontitis
Chronic Periodontitis may be defined as a mixed infection affecting individual or multiple sites within the oral cavity and leading to the loss of the supporting periodontal tissues. This disease is generally chronic in nature and can persist in the absent of treatment. The bacterial etiology of chr...
