The Detrimental Effects of Chronic Periodontitis on Human Reproductive Health

doi:10.12280/gjszjk.20220477

Abstract

Abstract:

Chronic periodontitis is a kind of periodontal disease caused by microbial plaque that involves periodontal tissues. Recently, several studies have shown an association between periodontitis and various systemic diseases in humans, including reproductive diseases. For example, periodontitis may induce female reproductive diseases such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, etc. For males, periodontitis is closely correlated to erectile dysfunction, infertility and prostate diseases. Therefore, periodontitis may have detrimental effects on the human fertility. The periodontitis-related endometriosis and followed malignant lesions, as well as prostate cancer, may also bring a entail underestimated survival pressure on the patients and a heavy economic burden on the society. In this paper, we discuss the detrimental effects of periodontitis on human reproduction, and the potential improving effects of the prevention and treatment of chronic periodontitis on the reproductive health of childbearing-age population.

Key words: Chronic periodontitis, Infertility, female, Infertility, male, Polycystic ovarian syndrome, Endometriosis, Erectile dysfunction, Prostatic diseases
