Abstract

Edward Jenner introduced vaccination using cowpox virus in the late 18th century. Periodontal diseases, stemming from various microbes, contribute significantly to adult tooth loss. Current treatments only manage disease progression, prompting a need for advanced therapies like vaccines targeting specific periodontal bacteria. Periodontal vaccination shows promise, although no study has met all criteria for an ideal solution. The goal is to identify antigens in periodontitis and stimulate antibody production.
Future integration with mechanical therapy aims to reduce the global burden of periodontitis and associated morbidity. This paper explores current and future approaches to periodontal vaccinations.
