Periodontal disease is one of the most common pathologies of the oral cavity. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the tissues surrounding the teeth, accompanied by the destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Microorganisms that form the microbial biofilm of dental plaque play a key role in the development of this pathology.

It has now been proven that the primary cause of periodontitis is exposure to specific pathogenic bacteria capable of causing an inflammatory reaction in periodontal tissues. These microorganisms are called periodontopathogenic. Their activity leads to an imbalance of oral microflora, which contributes to the development of pathological processes.

Studying the role of periodontopathogenic microorganisms is important for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases.
