Periodontosis is a rare, chronic, non-inflammatory degenerative disease of the
periodontal tissues, characterized by progressive alveolar bone atrophy, gingival
recession, and tooth mobility without pronounced inflammatory signs. Unlike
periodontitis, which is primarily associated with microbial infection and immune
response, periodontosis is considered to have a multifactorial etiology, including
genetic predisposition, vascular disorders, systemic diseases, and metabolic
imbalances. The clinical challenge lies in its asymptomatic onset, which often leads to
delayed diagnosis when tissue destruction is already advanced. This article provides a
comprehensive review of modern therapeutic approaches to the management of
periodontosis, combining professional oral hygiene, pharmacological support,
