Abstract
Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease elicited by a complex of bacterial species, variety of risk factors, bacterial plaque, calculus that interact with host tissues causing the release of a broad array of inflammatory mediators, cytokines, chemokines some of which lead to destruction of the periodontal structures, leading to tooth mobility. Osteoporosis and Osteopenia are the conditions that represent the mineral content of the bone. In addition, aspects of bone composition and structure that may not be captured by bone mineral density measurements, such as bone size and geometry, and bone structure and material, contribute to increased bone fragility. Periodontitis as well as osteoporosis could also be risk factors for each other and have a impact that requires mutual concomitant management. An interventional approach is emerging with complex treatment options. Prevention and management of both of these diseases require interdisciplinary approaches and warrant future well-controlled longitudinal and interventional studies for evidence-based clinical guidelines.
