About this Research Topic
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disorder that affects and destroys the tissues that support and surround the tooth, it affects 15-20% of the world's population. Periodontal disease prevalence is expected to grow even more in the coming years due to the increase in aging population. Periodontal disease has been linked to a higher risk of developing systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Even though periodontal disease has a substantial impact on a person's self-esteem, oral hygiene is frequently neglected. The collection and reporting of epidemiological data on periodontitis is challenging. Sociodemography and behavior towards oral health plays a major role among individuals being affected by periodontal disease. Although, it is well known that there is a vacuum in documentation among different population around the globe.
Most oral diseases have a complex etiology, meaning that biological, social, economic, cultural, and environmental variables all play a role. A growing amount of research shows that people from low socioeconomic backgrounds have a disproportionately high burden of dental caries and periodontal disease. The socioeconomic determinants of health have an impact on oral health behaviors and access to care. As a result, delivering population-level health promotion measures has had a significant influence on lowering the prevalence of oral disorders.
这个研究h Topic will be devoted to recent findings on “Social and Behavioral Determinants of Periodontal Disease”, and will make a substantial contribution to the assessment of various factors that influence periodontal disease among the population around the globe and provide an insight for concerned authorities how the social and disparities can be sorted out based on the findings.
