Why is Histological Knowledge Important in Periodontal Therapy?
Understanding the histology of periodontal tissues is crucial for several reasons:
1. Diagnosis: Histological examination can help identify the extent of periodontal disease and differentiate between various types of periodontal conditions, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
2. Treatment Planning: Knowledge of tissue structure and function aids in selecting appropriate treatment modalities, whether surgical or non-surgical.
3. Monitoring Healing: Histological assessment can be used to monitor tissue healing and regeneration following periodontal therapy.
