Amrutiya Mansi R, Deshpande Neeraj

Abstract :

 Obesity is a chronic disease with a multifarious origin where in there in increase deposition of fat in the adipose tissue. Obesity has become an important health problem as its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the supporting structures of the tooth. Chronic periodontitis has a multifaceted origin with numerous risk factors that contribute to disease progression. Obesity represents a systemic condition capable of causing the onset and progression of periodontal disease. The probable mechanism for this association has been suggested to involve the proinflammatory state that exists in patients with obesity, which results in insulin resistance and oxidative stress. So the aim of this article is to get an overview of the association between obesity and periodontitis and to review the association between adipose tissue derived cytokines and periodontal disease.
