牙周病与脑梗死相关性的研究进展

Research progress on the association between periodontal disease and cerebral infarction

牙周病是常见的牙周支持组织慢性感染性疾病。近年,牙周病与脑梗死相关研究逐渐增多,但二者间的因果关系仍尚不明确。动脉粥样硬化是脑梗死的主要病因之一,牙周病可能与动脉粥样硬化有关。而积极进行牙周病的预防和治疗可能可会降低罹患心脑血管病的风险。因此,深入了解牙周病与脑梗死的关系,探索潜在的作用机制,进而采取针对性的治疗措施,对脑梗死的防治有重要意义。该文对牙周病与脑梗死发病关系的研究进展及可能机制做一阐述。

Periodontal disease is a common chronic infectious disease targeting the connective tissue supporting the dentition.In recent years,the research on periodontal disease and cerebral infarction has been increasing.However,the causal relationship between periodontal disease and cerebral infarction remains unclear.Periodontal disease may be associated with atherosclerosis,which is one of the major causes of cerebral infarction.Regular dental care can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.Therefore,investigating the above association and its underlying mechanisms is of great clinical significance,which may help clinicians to make appropriate treatment and prevention measures.In this paper,the research progress and possible mechanism of the relationship between periodontal disease and cerebral infarction were reviewed.
