Abstract:
Periodontal disease is now increasingly believed to play a significant part in various systemic conditions. Likewise these systemic diseases and their severity have been found to have an impact on the morbidity of periodontal disease. A number of mechanisms specific to such interlink have been proposed and later established in numerous studies. The disorders with such bidirectional link with periodontal disease include cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, and connective tissue diseases. The periodontal - systemic interlink has a vibrant effect on the management aspects and is of paramount topical interest to clinicians. We review the pertaining literature (Google scholar and pubmed).
