The Link between Periodontal Disease and Oral Cancer—A Certainty or a Never-Ending Dilemma?
Source abstract
Abstract
Periodontal disease can have a substantial systemic influence on the body that extends beyond the oral cavity and can lead to local inflammation, bone damage, and tooth loss. A great number of studies suggest that periodontitis and oral cancer are linked, however it is unclear if specific periodontal bacteria promote the development of systemic illness. The mediators of the relationship between those two pathologies are still being discovered, but the research findings indicate the existence of a correlation. Additional research, including confounding factors, is needed to strengthen this link.
