    Periodontitis is mostly caused by plaque, calculus, food impaction, poor restorations, bite trauma, etc. The gums are inflamed and swollen, and at the same time, the accumulation of plaque increases and spreads from the upper to the lower gingiva. Due to the characteristics of the subgingival micro-ecological environment, a large number of virulent periodontal pathogens, such as B. gingivalis, B. intermedia, and spirochetes, breed in the subgingival plaque, which aggravates and spreads the inflammation of the gums, resulting in Periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption cause periodontitis.
