Periodontics cannot be practiced in isolation as frequently many patients have multiple dental needs or medical health issues requiring management. In addition, pathology may manifest in the periodontal tissues, and the onset and progression of periodontitis can be affected by systemic conditions, such as diabetes, and vice versa. The focus of this volume of Periodontology 2000 is interdisciplinary periodontics, and the articles included discuss the interactions and the interrelationshipbetween periodontal tissues/periodontal diseases and endodontics, fixed prosthodontics, implant dentistry, esthetics, gerodontology, radiology, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral pathology, special needs dentistry and general medicine. Previous volumes of Periodontology 2000 have covered some of the interactions between periodontal diseases and other dental disciplines, especially implant dentistry, 'and the interaction between periodontal disease and systemic disease', but there has not been a volume on interdisciplinary periodontics. The intention therefore is to show how and why periodontics should be interdisciplinary, as well as the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach; in addition, the potential consequences of using a discipline in isolation are discussed.
牙周病不能孤立地进行治疗，因为许多患者有多种牙齿需求或需要管理的医疗健康问题。此外，病理学可能在牙周组织中表现出来，牙周炎的发病和进展可能受到糖尿病等全身性疾病的影响，反之亦然。本卷《牙周病学 2000》的重点是跨学科牙周病学，所包含的文章讨论了牙周组织/牙周病与牙髓病学、固定义齿修复学、种植牙学、美学、老年牙科、放射学、正畸学、儿科牙科、口腔颌面外科学、口腔病理学、特殊需求牙科和一般医学之间的相互作用和相互关系。《牙周病学 2000》之前的几卷已经涵盖了牙周病与其他牙科学科之间的一些相互作用，特别是种植牙学，以及牙周病与系统性疾病之间的相互作用，但没有关于跨学科牙周病学的一卷。因此，本卷的目的是展示为什么以及如何将牙周病学作为跨学科的学科，以及采用跨学科方法的好处；此外，还讨论了孤立地使用一门学科的潜在后果。
