    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_disease

    Current literature suggests a link between periodontal disease and oral cancer. Studies have confirmed an increase in systemic inflammation markers such as C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6 to be found in patients with advanced periodontal disease. The link between systemic inflammation and oral cancer has also been well established.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodontal_diseases

    Rather than a single disease entity, periodontal disease is a combination of multiple disease processes that share a common clinical manifestation. The cause includes both local and systemic factors. The disease consists of a chronic inflammation associated with loss of alveolar bone. Advanced disease features include pus and exudates.

  4. Chronic periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_periodontitis

    Chronic periodontitis is initiated by Gram-negative tooth-associated microbial biofilms that elicit a host response, which results in bone and soft tissue destruction. In response to endotoxin derived from periodontal pathogens, several osteoclast-related mediators target the destruction of alveolar bone and supporting connective tissue such as the periodontal ligament.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontitis_as_a...

    [1] [2] At least 16 systemic diseases have been linked to periodontitis. These systemic diseases are associated with periodontal disease because they generally contribute to either a decreased host resistance to infections or dysfunction in the connective tissue of the gums, increasing patient susceptibility to inflammation-induced destruction. [1]

  7. Aggressive periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_periodontitis

    Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobe associated with the pathogenicity of periodontal disease, [10] and aggressive periodontitis is no exception. Greater numbers of both Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were found in active, destructive periodontal lesions in comparison to non-active sites.
