Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For decades, periodontitis has been considered a local inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues in the oral cavity. Initially, associations of periodontitis with a multitude of noncommunicable diseases were each studied separately, and subsequently, relationships were shown. The associations of periodontitis with morbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and respiratory diseases, have been demonstrated. As most such studies were cross-sectional in nature, questions about causality cannot be univocally answered. Also, periodontitis as an independent risk factor for one systemic disease becomes even more difficult to assess, since recently periodontitis has also been associated with multimorbidity. Periodontitis and many systemic diseases share environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors, and share immunopathology. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent findings on periodontal disease and new correlations with systemic diseases.
