- Abstract
Chronic inflammatory illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease are now seen as problems that might have impacts on the periodontium, and reciprocal effects of periodontal diseases are being considered as factors potentially affecting the progression of these diseases. Successful management of the inflammatory disorders in the human body depends on the identification of common pathways that would lead to a better understanding of the disease processes and development of novel treatment strategies. In this review, our objective is to identify the inflammatory basis of periodontal disease and common inflammatory mechanisms underlying several disorders elsewhere in the body, with an emphasis on how the potential extrinsic and intrinsic control methods could be used to prevent or treat the harmful effects linked to inflammation.
