    Oral health and

    the connected body

     

    Periodontal disease

    Periodontal diseases are mainly characterized by inflammation of the gingiva and supporting connective tissue leading to alveolar bone loss and tooth loss[¹]. Periodontal disease may also present a systemic infectious and inflammatory burden with potential effects on overall health[²'³'⁴].

    Periodontal Disease

    Potential biological pathways


    Certain potential biological mechanisms have been proposed for the associations between periodontal disease and systemic diseases.
    Periodontal disease may create an oral wound that permits invasive oral microorganisms the opportunity to potentially spread through the body via the cardiovascular system.

         Periodontal diseases may:
    ·    Create an oral wound that permits invasive oral microorganisms the opportunity to potentially spread through the body via the cardiovascular      system⁵
    ·    Present a systemic infectious and inflammatory burden with potential effects on overall health² ³ ⁴
    ·    Contribute to increased risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke and pregnancy complications⁶

    Biological Pathways

    (Source: Philips™)

    Periodontal disease is one risk factor among other known factors that may contribute to increased risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular
    disease, stroke and pregnancy complications⁶. Additional research is needed to define the exact mechanisms of these associations, and
    Philips is proud to be leading through internal and external research relationships.
