Chronic diseases are a growing burden to people, health care
systems and to societies across the world. Over the years
these diseases have inflicted and have been increasing in all
parts of the globe. According to World Health Organization
major chronic diseases currently account for about 40% and by
the year 2020 it is expected to rise to 60% of the global burden
of all the disease. The most prominent of these diseases are
cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, and diabetes mellitus which are linked by common
biological and behavioural risk factors. Periodontal disease is a
ubiquitously prevalent oral disease and as well it contributes to
the global burden of chronic diseases.This disease affects a large
population and presents amajor public health problemworldwide.
Interestingly both periodontal disease and other prominent
systemic chronic diseases share exchangeable risk factors with
each other. This interplay of common and modifiable risk factors
between periodontal disease and other systemic diseases can
lead to distinct health profiles at country and community levels.
Throughout the history of mankind there has been a belief
that oral diseases can have an effect on overall health. We are
aware that, in many ways, certain aspects of this doctrine have
been part of dentistry for a long time. The possible contribution
of oral bacteria in periodontal pockets to bacterial endocarditis
has been acknowledged for decades. Additionally in a converse
relationship, the contribution of systemic diseases, such as
diabetes, to the severity of periodontal disease has also been
recognized for many years. However, the present paper confronts
an altogether broader perspective wherein it focuses on recent
research that increasingly substantiates a role for periodontitis
in affecting systemic health. Agonistically, over the years oral
health has been invariably neglected in health care system and
therefore in this era of modern medicine, dentistry necessitates
to be elevated to the forefront in delivering optimum healthcare to
the population worldwide. This monograph is therefore intended
to shed light on perplex of the relationship between periodontal
disease and various systemic diseases and to understand the
potential influence of periodontal disease on systemic health.
