Research in periodontology is a blooming field: half the articles about periodontitis referenced in Pubmed were published after 2009 (search: “periodont*[title/abstract]”). This intensification of research came together with its diversification and with the specialization of its growing branches. As periodontitis is an inflammatory and infectious disease, fundamental research pays a special attention to microbiology and physiopathology, as reflected in this book. Furthermore, the crosstalk between periodontitis and other diseases through their inflammatory and infectious components is being intensively studied, highlighting the interest for integrative approaches for the prevention and the treatment of all these conditions.
