Modern people pay more and more attention to the health of teeth, because dental diseases are not only oral problems, but also cause other diseases in the body.
For example, you hear a lot about periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease mainly includes two types: gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gingivitis is mainly an inflammation of the tissues around the teeth. Periodontitis is caused by chronic infection of the tissues of the teeth, which is more damaging to the periodontal tissue, so patients should pay attention to it.
The following gives a detailed introduction to the harm of periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease can induce diabetes. Periodontal disease is related to poor control of diabetes, which complicates the metabolic control of diabetes.
After periodontal treatment, the level of HBAE decreased and the amount of diabetes medication decreased in diabetic patients with periodontitis.
Therefore, control of periodontal infection must be considered to control diabetes, and effective control of periodontal infection in diabetic patients will reduce serum glycation end products.
On the contrary, the control of diabetes is also an important prerequisite to achieve the important effect of periodontitis.
Periodontal disease can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Most patients with acute myocardial infarction have different degrees of oral diseases, the most common of which are periodontitis and periodontal abscess.
Oral CAVITY LOCAL EXISTENCE A LARGE NUMBER OF pathogenic bacteria, THESE bacteria can produce ENDOtoxin and invade blood, CAUSE THE change OF CLOTTING mechanism AND THE degeneration of PLATELET, STILL can stimulate BLOOD VESSEL directly, BRING ABOUT arterIOLE SPasm.
If coronary artery is involved, produce contractile spasm, add the action of tiny thrombectomy, can cause the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction.
Three, periodontal diseases induced by dental plaque, especially in patients with periodontitis, may be the residence of respiratory pathogens.
The RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ORAL HYGIENE index of patients WITH chronic respiratory diseases was significantly higher than that of those without diseases. The incidence of chronic respiratory diseases in patients with poor oral hygiene was 1.3 times higher than that in those with good oral hygiene.
