Narrative review of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in periodontitis and peri-implantitis
Oxidative stress may drive gum disease and bone loss
This narrative review examines the role of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense systems in periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
New evidence suggests that an imbalance in your body's antioxidant defenses could play a major role in how gum disease progresses.

Narrative review explores interkingdom interactions in subgingival microbiome and periodontitis
What if gum disease isn't just about bacteria?
A narrative review synthesizes evidence on host-pathogen interactions involving bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea in periodontitis.
Gum disease isn't just about bacteria; fungi and viruses team up with them to make infections worse and damage tissue.
Questions about Periodontitis
Is there a connection between periodontitis and systemic health disorders?
Yes, periodontitis is linked to several systemic disorders like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver disease, but direct causation is not proven.
Full answer →Do oral bacteria change as periodontitis gets worse in Korean adults?
Yes, oral bacteria change as periodontitis worsens in Korean adults, with higher diversity and specific bacterial shifts seen in advanced stages.
Full answer →What is the link between periodontitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
Research is mixed: some reviews suggest periodontitis may worsen NAFLD through the oral-gut-liver axis, but a large meta-analysis found no clear association.
Full answer →Can having periodontitis increase my risk for liver disease or cancer?
Yes, periodontitis may increase the risk of liver disease and liver cancer, likely through systemic inflammation and bacterial spread, but direct causation is not proven.
Full answer →How does oxidative stress affect the body in people with periodontitis?
In periodontitis, oxidative stress amplifies inflammation, damages tissues, and drives bone loss by overwhelming the body's antioxidant defenses.
Full answer →Does subgingival chemical irrigation help treat periodontitis better than standard care?
No, subgingival chemical irrigation does not provide additional benefit over standard non-surgical periodontal treatment alone for periodontitis.
