Abstract
Introduction.Periodontal disease, as a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth, is a major health concern. Various factors contribute
to the development and progression of periodontal disease, including genetic component, environmental factors, and specific anatomical and morphological charac
teristics of the dental root. Aim: To record therisk factors associated with periodontal disease focusing on the anatomical and morphological characteristics of dental
roots. Material and method:A systematic search of databases including PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant studies published
up to March 2024. The keywords used in search term were “root morphology”, “root concavities”, “root grooves”, “root proximity”, “furcation anatomy” and “periodontal
disease”.Selection criteria included English-language studies that provided quantitative or qualitative data on the impact of morphological variation on periodontal health.
Results: By reviewing the current literature and numerous empirical studies, this paper elucidates how these anatomical factors contribute to the progression of peri
odontal disease and discusses the implications in clinical practice, emphasizing the need for tailored preventive and therapeutic approaches based on individual
anatomical conditions. Conclusion:The anatomical and morphological characteristics of the dental root are crucial inthe diagnosis and management of periodontal
disease. These features not only affect how the disease starts and progresses, but impact the success of periodontal treatments as well. Dental professionals need to
consider these factors in their clinical practice in order to personalize prevention and treatment plans effectively. This can lead to better periodontal health outcomes
and help preserve patients’ teeth.
