Popis: Periodontitis is a multi-factorial disease which has affected mankind since the dawn of an era. Prevalence of periodontal disease has considerably increased over a period of time. Periodontal research has progressed tremendously worldwide. In India in spite of increased periodontal research, many problems are faced by the clinicians. It leads to improper recording of the results and resultant failure to spread the knowledge that would help in understanding the subject better. This is a major setback in the current era of evidenced based clinical practice. Hence in this review, an attempt is made to discuss and emphasize these unsolved issues pertaining to epidemiology, disease activity and therapy.
