Abstract:
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontal supporting tissues caused by plaque microorganisms, whereas inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by gastrointestinal tract damage. Studies have revealed a close association between periodontitis and IBD, and gut microbiota has been shown to play an important role in the development of IBD. When the gut microbiota is disturbed, it leads to intestinal barrier disruption, triggers immune-inflammatory responses, and influences IBD progression. There are significant differences between the salivary microbiota of periodontitis patients and healthy individuals, and periodontal pathogens can enter the intestinal tract with saliva and participate in the development of IBD by influencing the interactions between gut microbiota composition, immune responses, metabolite production, and intestinal barrier function. Current gut microbiota-targeted intervention strategies, such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and probiotic supplementation, have shown potential therapeutic value in the treatment of periodontitis. These approaches may exert synergistic effects on both periodontitis and IBD through microbiota modulation. This review summarizes research progress on the relationship between periodontitis and IBD to provide a foundation for the prevention and treatment of these two diseases.
