Periodontal disease and systemic health: An update for medical practitioners

Abstract: Introduction: Chronic periodontal disease is a highly prevalent dental condition affecting tooth-supporting tissues. Scientific evidence is accumulating on links between periodontal disease and various systemic conditions. This narrative review provides a holistic yet succinct overview that would assist medical practitioners to deliver integrated care for better clinical outcomes. Method: Scientific evidence on associations between periodontal disease and systemic conditions was synthesised and critically app… Show more

“…Bacteria from periodontal pockets can travel to other systems, causing pathological changes in them [1,2,23,24,25,26,27,28]. A normal endocardial endothelium provides a barrier for bacteria and prevents colonisation and the development of inflammation.…”

“…Bacteria from periodontal pockets can travel to other systems via the oral and inhalation routes, as well as enter the bloodstream (some dental procedures, which cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream) and to distant organs through this route (heart, brain, kidneys, liver, eyes or reproductive organs in women), causing pathological changes in them [1,2,23,24,25,26,27,28].…”

“…The figures that have been found are around 1.1 billion cases of severe periodontal disease, in 2019. These amounts are equivalent to 15% of the world population [6] . The use of probiotics has been proposed as an adjunct to periodontal therapy due to the origin of the disease based on dental plaque formed by bacteria [7] .…”

“…[4,5] Periodontitis is closely associated with various systemic diseases, including hypertensive heart disease, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents one of the most prominent public health challenges worldwide. It ranks among the most common causes of end-stage renal disease, [12] contributing to approximately 40% of new patients requiring renal replacement therapy.…”
