Periodontal diseases belong to the group of diseases, by which are humans very often affected. Despite of the public health and economic significance of periodontal diseases, some aspects associated with their etiology and pathogenesis have not been consequently solved as yet. The main task in periodontology according to the experts of World Health Organization is "to express th opinion to the etiological factors of periodontal diseases as well as to the possibilities of their prevention and therapy". One of the possibilities to fulfil this task consists, besides, the clinical approach in laboratory studies of enzymatic, hormonal and immunological effects on the processes taking place in periodontal tissue under physiological and pathological conditions.
牙周疾病属于人类常受影响的疾病类别。尽管牙周疾病具有公共卫生和经济意义，但其病因和发病机制相关的一些方面尚未得到彻底解决。根据世界卫生组织专家的观点，牙周病学的主要任务是“对牙周疾病的病因以及预防和治疗的可能性发表意见”。此外，完成这项任务的一种可能性在于，在实验室研究中采用临床方法，研究酶、激素和免疫因素在生理和病理条件下对牙周组织中发生的过程的影响。
