The goal of this issue of the Dental Clinics of North America is to bring together various experts in the field of periodontology to write about topics that are pertinent to the practice of periodontics in the general practice setting. All of the authors who have been kind enough to sacrifice their valuable time to write an article are experts in the topic for which they write. First, foundational knowledge on the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and risk factors of periodontal diseases are presented. This updated knowledge is essential for decision-making regarding the diagnosis and treatment of the periodontal patient. Lately, there has also been considerable interest in the systemic effects of periodontal disease that has burgeoned into the new field of periodontal medicine. Recent findings in this area are thus also presented. A series of articles follow that provide a contemporary view of various aspects of prevention and treatment of periodontal disease in general practice. Finally, an article that speculates on how the practice of periodontics might change over the next 10 years is provided.
