Abstract
The problem of caries disease has become one of the major challenges for public health in countries around the world, while becoming one of the most worrying health phenomena in the world. It is obvious that caries is a pathological process of local nature, leading to decalcification of enamel and dentin, decomposition of hard tooth tissues and, consequently, formation of a cavity, but also a serious risk factor for other diseases. Many studies have shown a significant relationship between periapical tissue inflammation and cardiovascular disease [1-3], diabetes [4,5] and systemic oxidative stress [6].
