Precision and Personalized Periodontics

Precision and Personalized Periodontics presents a contemporary approach to periodontal care by integrating precision medicine with advanced dental science. The book explores how genetics, biomarkers, microbiomics, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies are transforming the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. Emphasizing predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory (P4) approaches, it highlights the shift from conventional treatment protocols toward patient-centric periodontal therapy. The text also discusses omics technologies, salivary diagnostics, regenerative therapies, pharmacogenomics, and the role of systemic and environmental factors in disease progression. Designed for students, clinicians, and researchers, this book provides a comprehensive overview of emerging concepts that are shaping the future of precision periodontal care.
