Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to tissue destruction and eventual tooth loss. The study analyzes modern methods for treating and preventing periodontitis, focusing on innovative approaches such as laser therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), stem cell applications, and phytotherapy. A total of 170 patients were examined in a private dental clinic in Fergana, categorized into two age groups: adults (35–45 years) and elderly (60+ years). Findings indicate that 20% of adults had severe periodontitis, while 23% of elderly individuals experienced complete tooth loss due to the disease. Results highlight that traditional methods, including mechanical debridement and antibiotic therapy, showed moderate efficacy with high recurrence rates. In contrast, PDT and laser therapy demonstrated superior outcomes by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration. Stem cell applications offer promising prospects for periodontal tissue restoration, though further research is needed. Preventive measures, including oral hygiene, professional care, and lifestyle modifications, remain crucial in managing periodontitis. This study underscores the necessity of integrating advanced therapeutic modalities to enhance periodontal health and treatment outcomes.
