<unk> , is the name of a collection of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth.<unk>  involves progressive loss of the bone around teeth which may lead to loosening and eventual loss of teeth if untreated.<unk>  is caused by bacteria that adhere to and grow on tooth surfaces (microbial plaque or biofilms), particularly in areas under the gum line.<unk>  is very common in most populations but the severe forms of the disease are less common. Dentists diagnose<unk>  by inspecting the tissues around the teeth with a probe and by radiographs to detect bone loss around the teeth. Although the different forms of<unk>  are bacterial diseases, a variety of factors affect the severity of the disease. Important "risk factors" include smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, and inherited (genetic) susceptibility.
