Oral health and brain connection: is there any relationship?
Vol 36, Issue 2S3, 2022
Abstract
Several studies reported the association between periodontal diseases, a persistent inflammatory processand other chronic ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer’s disease andcancer. Although many epidemiologic data support these associations, a cause-and-effect relationship hasnot been established. Numerous articles reporting oral bacteria in samples collected directly from brainabscesses confirmed the association between brain abscess and odontogenic infection. Dental diseases canbe treated with ambulatory care rather than hospitalization and emergency care. Older adults shouldestablish daily oral hygiene care routines during the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
