Examining the Impact of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, a prevalent dental condition, can have serious systemic consequences that extend beyond oral health. Recent studies have shown that certain oral bacteria, such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, are associated with the worsening of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and possibly Alzheimer’s disease.
Exploring Inflammatory Effects and Inflammasome Activation
- Recent clinical research highlights the inflammatory effects of periodontal disease.
- Inflammasome activation has been linked to the severity of RA exacerbation.
- Unique therapeutic strategies are emerging to mitigate these issues.
This knowledge is critical in addressing holistic health issues intertwined with oral health.
