Q
The balance needed to keep tissue damage to a minimum
A
- highlights the pathogenic factors and the pathogenesis of periodontal disease
- in order to keep periodontal tissues healthy there must be a balance between virulence factors present in biofilm + host response
- if balance, then periodontal tissues maintained and stable
- if this is skewed
