Book excerpt: 'Etiology and Pathogenesis of Periodontal Disease' represents a new concept in periodontology with its pronounced focus on understanding through knowledge rather than presenting the present valid answers.

Even if periodontal disease is certainly not a generally accepted cause of death, periodontal treatment may obviously save lives.
