A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the bone and might be regarded as an artificial tooth root. They are designated to support dental restorations such as crowns, fixed bridges or a full set of dentures to replace one or more missing teeth.
A dental implant offers a unique modality of tooth replacement as it allows for the replacement of a missing tooth without modifying adjacent teeth. It closely mimics the lost tooth root being replaced and provides a fixed alternative of tooth replacement.

Dr. Nupur Kataria
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gum and the bones around your teeth causing bleeding, pain, sensitivity, and bone destruction, which may eventually lead to tooth loss.
The main cause of periodontal disease symptoms is Dental Plaque. If it is not effectively removed during brushing it might lead to its mineralisation resulting in the formation of hard substance called calculus (tartar). The calculus provides a niche to the growth of more bacteria. Plaque essentially is a bacterial biofilm producing toxins that result in inflammation of the gums. In certain susceptible patients the supporting structures of the tooth and bone around the teeth might deteriorate causing gums to separate from the teeth, causing periodontal pockets(spaces) to form along the tooth. These spaces harbour more bacteria and are inaccessible by patients to clean at home while brushing. Left untreated periodontal diseases might result in continuing soft tissue and bone loss around the tooth, compromising its support in the jaw and lead to tooth loss.
Periodontal disease treatment can promote oral health and help preserve your teeth. Periodontal disease has been linked to multiple medical conditions such as diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, Alzheimers, pneumonia and pregnancy complications including pre-term birth and low birth weight.
