Periodontitis Journals

Periodontal diseases are prevalent both in developed and developing countries and affect about 20-50% of worldwide population. High prevalence of periodontitis in adolescents, adults, and older individuals makes it a public health concern. Several risk factors like smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, medication, age, hereditary, and stress are associated with periodontal diseases. Robust evidence shows the association of periodontal diseases with systemic diseases like disorder , diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Periodontal disease is probably going to cause 19% increase within the risk of disorder , and this increase in relative risk reaches to 44% among individuals aged 65 years and over. Type 2 diabetic individuals with severe sort of periodontitis have 3.2 times greater mortality risk compared with individuals with no or mild periodontitis. Periodontal therapy has been shown to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic subjects. Periodontitis is said to maternal infection, preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia. Oral disease prevention strategies should be incorporated in chronic systemic disease preventive initiatives to curtail the burden of disease in populations. The reduction within the incidence and prevalence of periodontitis can reduce its associated systemic diseases and may also minimize their financial impact on the health-care systems. It is hoped that medical, dental practitioners, and other health-care professionals will get conversant in perio-systemic link and risk factors, and wish to ask the specialized dental or periodontal care.
