| Summary: | Obesity is a chronic disease of mutifactorial origin, where there is increase in body fat. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of tooth
supporting tissues resulting in destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Periodontitis and obesity are both chronic health
problems and the literature supports this association. A hyperinflammatory state observed in obesity is proposed as a mechanism to
explain this association. This low grade inflammation in obese subjects triggers the worsening of non transmissible chronic diseases like
periodontitis. So the aim of this article is to get the overview of association between adipose tissue derived cytokines and periodontal
disease. |
