Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been associated with aging, reduced fine motor skills, and malnutrition caused by eating soft sticky foods and a decreased liquid intake, which may contribute to the onset of caries, periodontal disease, and tooth loss. The objective of this study was to investigate the oral health of 101 patients with PD (mean […]

Objective and background The objectives were to compare periodontal status between subjects with and without Parkinson’s disease (PKD) to determine the influence of PKD on periodontal disease. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship of periodontal status with severity of PKD. Conclusion There is a need for dental care and encouragement to use plaque
Objectives: The objective of this study was to introduce the evidence obtained throughextensive research that periodontitis increases risk of many systemic diseases. Method: Analysis of some oral bacteria (P. gingivalis, T. denticola, T. forsythia, A.actinomycetemcomitans, and F. nucleatum) and its related treatments and mediatorsby the specific methods (western blot, ELISA, etc). Results: This article reviews

In conclusion, the present study revealed that quercetin ameliorated the oxidative damage and improved the antioxidative ability of PDLCs by activating the NRF2 signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo (Figure 7). In addition, quercetin could prevent alveolar bone absorption in periodontitis. Therefore, quercetin may be a potential therapeutic candidate for treatment of periodontitis. CLICK
The oral microbiome is implicated in many systemic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, respiratory infections, and cognitive decline, with the common link between them being inflammation.1-4 A connection between oral health, inflammation, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has long been speculated, and recent findings have suggested that chronic bacterial infections from

We cannot cure Parkinson’s disease, but if in future this missing link is established, an attempt can be made to prevent it by tackling one of its possible contributors (periodontitis) for systemic inflammation by simple preventive oral hygiene measures. CLICK TO REVIEW
Parkinson’s disease and periodontitis – the missing link? A review Read More »
All the included studies reported higher levels of inflammatory markers, IgG levels of periodontal bacteria, and/or clinical parameters of periodontitis with the two concomitant diseases (some neurodegenerative disease and periodontitis), compared with the diseases isolated (summarized in Figure 2). Despite that we found some minor problems in domains in the qualitative analysis, all the studies have
