Abstract
Oral care is critical from the stand point of systemic health. No health preventive strategy is complete without taking into cognizance the significance of subgingival microbiota in causation of a number of systemic conditions. Clinical studies and etiopathogenetic models substantiate a distinct connect between chronic periodontitis and a host of cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and reproductive system pathologies. A potent source of contagion, subgingival microbiota associated with periodontitis may act as a significant risk factor in atherosclerotic coronary disease, carotid atheromas, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, premature labor and birth of preterm babies, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, and a myriad of other conditions.
