Acute Ulceronecrotizing Periodontitis (PUNA)
A clear, rigorous and practical guide to necrotizing periodontal diseases, created to help readers understand their terminology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and prevention.
This revised 2026 edition updates the original work in line with contemporary periodontal terminology and the scientific evidence available through 2026. It explains the condition without reducing it to a single bacterium or a fixed sequence of disease stages, and places historical concepts in their proper context.
What you’ll learn
- Current terminology and classification of necrotizing periodontal diseases.
- The differences between necrotizing gingivitis, necrotizing periodontitis and necrotizing stomatitis.
- Clinical signs, symptoms and differential diagnosis.
- Predisposing factors and their relationship with systemic health.
- The role of oral biofilm, host susceptibility and immune response.
- Evidence-based principles for management of the acute phase.
- The role and limitations of mechanical debridement, antiseptics and systemic antimicrobials.
- Follow-up, recurrence, periodontal sequelae and maintenance.
- Prevention and oral health education.
- A historical perspective on how the understanding of these diseases has evolved.
Why does the title retain “PUNA”?
The title retains the historical designation PUNA for continuity with the original work. In contemporary periodontal literature, the clinical category that most closely corresponds to the former PUNA is generally referred to as necrotizing periodontitis. The book explains this terminology clearly so older and current sources can be understood together.
