[Periodontology in Jena--25 years of teaching, research and therapy].

Abstract

Periodontology is a young department and has developed in Jena in the last 25 years; since 1982 it is a part in state examination. Maintenance of teeth is possible until old age and requires periodontology as a part of therapy. Biochemically, microbiologically and immunologically methods make it possible to differentiate unlike forms of periodontitis and their special therapy.
