Bi-directional Relationship between Periodontitis and Systemic Diseases | Chapter 9 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 4

 This chapter aims to determine the frequency of periodontitis in hospitalized patients with systemic disease.

There are 450 of his patients in this cross-sectional study. Information was collected from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Capital Development Authority, Islamic International Dental College, Islamabad, and Jinnah Graduate Medical Center, Karachi. Patients in this study suffered from diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (with or without diabetes), respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, kidney disease, bone/joint disease, and hypertension. Peripheral tissue status was assessed using a sterile dental mirror, periodontal probe, wooden tongue depressor, and flashlight. The following systemic diseases adversely affect periodontal status and are listed in order of severity.

Diabetes + cardiovascular disease > Diabetes > Cardiovascular disease > Bone/joint disease > Kidney disease > Hypertension > Liver disease > Gastrointestinal disease > Breathing disorders had progressive periodontitis, 27% had moderate periodontitis, and 8% had gingivitis.

The results of this study demonstrate a bidirectional association between periodontitis and systemic disease, and the development of severe periodontitis. This means that oral health is closely linked to systemic health, and that improving oral health leads to improved systemic health, which in turn improves the patient's quality of life. I mean Therefore, cooperation between dentists and doctors is recommended. This allows us to focus on prevention and treatment of oral and general health. Optimizing patient health is the goal of both medical and dental professionals. This chapter aims to determine the frequency of periodontitis in hospitalized patients with systemic disease.
