The approach to the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease is changing. The disease has not changed, but dentistry's understanding of the pathogenesis and appreciation for the influence of host factors has improved. As a result, the approach to the management of the disease is evolving. This paper reviews some of the host risk factors that have been linked to an increased severity of periodontal disease and briefly highlights some of the evidence that has led to the current belief that periodontal disease may be a risk factor for adverse systemic health conditions.
牙周疾病的诊断和治疗方法正在发生变化。疾病本身并未改变，但牙科领域对其发病机制的理解以及对宿主因素影响的认识有所提高。因此，该疾病的管理方法正在不断演变。本文回顾了一些与牙周疾病严重程度增加相关的宿主风险因素，并简要强调了一些证据，这些证据导致了目前认为牙周疾病可能是不良全身健康状况风险因素的观点。
