Periodontitis is one of the most ubiquitous diseases and is characterized by the destruction of connective tissue and dental bone support following an inflammatory host response secondary to infection by periodontal bacteria [1, 2]. Severe periodontitis, which may result in tooth loss, is found in 5–20% of most adult populations worldwide [3–5]. Children and adolescents can have any of the several forms of periodontitis such as aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, and periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases [6–8].
It is now generally agreed that almost all forms of periodontal disease occur as a result of mixed microbial infections within which specific groups of pathogenic bacteria coexist [9–11]. Evidence is reviewed on the potential roles of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with periodontal disease. An understanding of risk factors is essential for clinical practice.
