Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the causes and treatments of interstitial gingivitis (gum disease) from the 1700s until the early 1900s. The author's meticulous research across several countries presents the history of the disease from its early identification up to recent medical understandings. By offering a historical evolution of the various theories on the causes of gum disease, the author demonstrates how early beliefs attributed the disease to poor dental hygiene and external irritants and later evolved to include constitutional factors. The author provides a nuanced view of past medical theories and the role they played in shaping our current approach to periodontal disease. The volume extensively documents the role played by local and systemic factors and underscores the importance of understanding a patient's overall health, lifestyle, and susceptibility to degeneration in order to effectively treat gum disease. The author's claim that gum disease is an early form of senility in the gums and alveolar bone is a unique and insightful perspective that will challenge contemporary readers to further examine gum disease as an indicator of overall health. Those interested in the historical development of periodontal research will find this resource an essential addition to their library.
