      abstract = {This book aims to provide clinicians with a refined  understanding of the biology that underlies periodontal  diseases, thereby offering a sound basis for improved  clinical decision making with regard to prevention  strategies, diagnosis, and therapy. All significant aspects  of periodontal pathogenesis are covered, including the  roles played by the oral microbiome and biofilms, bacterial  virulence factors, cells of the immune system, matrix  metalloproteinases, proinflammatory and osteolytic  cytokines, genetic factors, and antimicrobial peptides.  Periodontal diseases are among the most common infectious  diseases in humans, and the primary cause of tooth loss in  adults. The functional and esthetic problems associated  with these diseases compromise quality of life, and their  treatment imposes large financial burdens on national  health systems and private patients. Up-to-date knowledge  of periodontal pathogenesis is therefore essential for the  contemporary clinician. This book, written by experts from  Europe and the Americas, delivers such knowledge in an  accessible, clinician-friendly way.},
