Relationship Between Periodontal Disease and Nutrition
Gingivitis
This is the first form of periodontal disease that affects the surface
of the gums. It causes them to become red, swollen and bleed
easily.
Complications
. It causes them to become red, swollen and bleed easily.
treatment
It is reversible with professional treatment and good oral home
care.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is defined as “an inflammatory disease of the supportive
tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of
specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction.
.
complications
1-the infection continues to spread. A space, known as a ‘pocket’,
develops between the gum and the tooth, as the socket bone is
gradually eroded away
2- when the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more gum
tissue and bone are destroyed
3- if untreated, the teeth can become loose and may have to be
removed.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates, including glucose, are needed for adequate cellular
functioning and for normal physiological processes such as the
construction of the periodontal tissues Increased consumption of refined
sugars can inhibit tissue repair and promote oxidative stress, microbial
dysbiosis, chronic inflammation, and cellular apoptosis increase in
gingival bleeding associated with the increased consumption of
carbohydrates.
Protein
Omega-3 fatty acids are a key constituent of host cell membranes and
are essential for the maintenance
of membrane integrity. These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are
also required for
the modulation of immune function and have been demonstrated to
have anti-inflammatory
property.
Micronutrients
Micronutrients consist of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
While micronutrients do not have energy value, they are essential
for many biological processes including those that promote
periodontal health and/or disease.

Antimicrobial action
Many nutrients have antimicrobial activity these may alter the
quality or quality of dental plaque and thus be associated with a
reduction in gingival inflammation.
.
Anti-inflammatory effect
Nutrient that decreases that host response to injury may result in a
reduction in the severity of gingivitis and development and progression of
periodontitis these. These work by affecting the enzymes involved in the
production of the anti-inflammation compounds or by altering which compounds
are actually produced (affecting the immunological response to bacterial antigens.
