Periodontal disease, a common chronic oral inflammatory disease, is characterized by destruction of soft tissue and bone
Oral hygiene and tooth loss can potentially affect gastrointestinal flora and nutritional status, and they have implications for the development of chronic diseases. Tooth loss, or both have been associated with increased risk for gastrointestinal malignancies, including oral, esophageal, and gastric cancers[3,4,5,6,7]

Níveis de Mieloperoxidase no Fluido Crevicular Gengival na Periodontite e no Câncer de Pâncreas. Objetivo: Determinar a existência de associação entre os níveis de mieloperoxidase no fluido crevicular gengival (MFCG), periodontite e câncer de pâncreas. Resultados: Os níveis médios de MFCG foram significantemente maiores nos pacientes com câncer de pâncreas e periodontite, em comparação aos outros pacientes. Os níveis médios de MFCG em pacientes sem câncer de pâncreas e pacientes com câncer de pâncreas e sem periodontite foram 0,68 ± 0,32 U/mL and 0,84±0,32 U/mL, respectivamente. Pacientes com câncer de pâncreas e periodontite apresentaram maiores percentagens de SS, PS e NIC em comparação aos pacientes sem câncer de pâncreas (p
