The study stems from an association between the inflammatory response typical of COVID-19 and typical periodontitis&#8217;s systemic inflammation. The severity of COVID-19 symptoms often seems to be related to an unresolved hyperinflammatory condition and comorbidity. Based on this data, the links between periodontal disease and complications of the novel coronavirus were investigated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zerodonto.com\/en\/author\/tonetti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prof Maurizio Tonetti<\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, editor of the journal &#8211; whose article with Prof\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zerodonto.com\/en\/author\/mariano-sanz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mariano Sanz<\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0on the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zerodonto.com\/en\/2019\/04\/periodontitis-clinical-decision-tree-for-staging-and-grading-guidance-for-clinicians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new classification of periodontal disease<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is also here on our blog &#8211; comments: &#8220;Chronic systemic inflammation induced by periodontitis could be one of the mechanisms behind the increased risk of COVID-19 complications because it could make patients more susceptible to the inflammatory storm triggered by the infection.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Periodontitis worsen covid-19<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The study (a case-control study) was conducted on a sample of 568 COVID-19 positive patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Thus, in those with very inflamed gums who contract the SARS-CoV-2 infection, the likelihood of dying increases 8.8-fold (OR=8.81,95% CI 1.00\u201077.7), the possibility of needing assisted ventilation increases 4.6-fold (OR=4.57, 95% CI 1.19\u201017.4), and the risk of admission to intensive care increases 3.5-fold (OR=3.54, 95% CI 1.39\u20109.05). <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The danger rises as the severity of periodontitis<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">increases<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and does not depend on other concomitant risk factors. This risk increases as the severity of periodontitis increases and does not depend on other concomitant risk factors. The high bacterial load in the mouth of patients with periodontitis and the general chronic inflammation associated with gum disease may be responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Patients with periodontitis do not have a higher risk of infection. They may have more severe consequences once infected with covid-19, due to the high\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">bacterial load in the mouth<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">chronic systemic inflammation<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The bacterial load may favour pulmonary over-infection, and the systemic inflammation may predispose the susceptibility to the inflammatory storm triggered by SARS-CoV-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Oral hygiene and early detection of periodontal disease are becoming increasingly important.
