Periodontal disease and endometriosis: analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Abstract: The results of this study suggest a possible association between endometriosis and periodontal disease. Although it is conceivable that the multifactorial development of endometriosis may be augmented by an immune response to an infectious agent, the potential underlying link between endometriosis and periodontal disease may be a generalized, global immune dysregulation.

“…13 Additionally, it has been suggested that PDs-induced gonadotrophin-releasing and luteinizing hormones levels reductions can result in ovulation failure. 14 Previous reports have also exhibited that PDs are associated with significant higher percentage of endometriosis 15 and maternal PDs can affect the effectiveness of infertility therapies and in vitro fertilization success. 16 Reportedly, PDs can also increase a woman's time to conception.…”

“…Endometriosis has been successfully identified a novel geneenvironment interaction (96). Previous studies have described a positive relationship and inverse association between endometriosis risk and social, environmental and biological factors, as well as their interactions (97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107).

“…The question which arises is whether the fertility of a woman or a man may be influenced by their oral and in particular their periodontal condition, since the periodontal disease, as a chronic bacterial infection, may be associated directly or indirectly with the presence or establishment of other subclinical infections, which form the causes of infertility [51,52]. The answer to this question is difficult, since there are limited research data, that correlate periodontal disease and periodontitis in particular to the possibility of achieving a pregnancy, in women with infertility problems [65,66] or in situations of men infertility [67,68].…”

“…Many years later, the relationship of infertility and periodontal disease was re-explored in a cross-sectional survey study of Kavoussi et al [65]. In this study, the researchers investigated the relationship between periodontal disease and endometriosis, using the data of 4,136 women, aged 18-50 years, who were involved in a large multicenter study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the years 1999-2004.…”
