Acute Ulceronecrotizing Periodontitis (PUNA)
A clear, rigorous and practical guide to necrotizing periodontal diseases, created for dental hygiene students, dental professionals, healthcare students and readers who want an evidence-based introduction to this complex group of conditions.
This revised 2026 edition updates the original work in line with contemporary periodontal terminology and the scientific evidence available through 2026. The historical designation PUNA is retained in the title for continuity with the original edition, while the book explains the current terminology used for necrotizing gingivitis, necrotizing periodontitis and necrotizing stomatitis.

A revised approach for 2026
The book moves beyond outdated ideas of a single causative microorganism or an inevitable sequence of disease progression. Instead, it presents a contemporary multifactorial model involving opportunistic biofilm, host susceptibility and predisposing factors.
It also clarifies the relationship between necrotizing periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as HIV infection, emphasizing that the presence of these periodontal lesions does not by itself establish a systemic diagnosis.
