Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex, multifactorial inflammatory disease of the airways and the pulmonary parenchyme, caused by infection, air pollution and particles. 4-7% of the adult population is involved. COPD is the 4th-6th common cause of death throughout the world. The main aetiological factor is smoking. Bacteria, such as bacteria from the oral cavity, could play a keyrole in the progression of the disease. Epidemiologic studies have noted a relationship between poor oral hygiene or periodontal bone loss and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The prevalence and mortality of the disease is increasing worldwide, the treatment is expensive, the efficiency of the present pharmacotherapy is poor, so the importance of prevention should be increasing. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prone to frequent exacerbations which are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. This review is a short summary of studies about the possible relationship between periodontitis and COPD.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是一种复杂的、多因素的气道和肺实质炎症性疾病，由感染、空气污染和颗粒物引起。4%-7%的成年人口受其影响。COPD是全球第4至第6位常见死因。主要病因是吸烟。细菌，如口腔细菌，可能在疾病进展中起关键作用。流行病学研究已注意到口腔卫生不良或牙周骨丧失与慢性阻塞性肺疾病之间的关系。该疾病在全球的患病率和死亡率正在上升，治疗费用高昂，目前药物治疗的效果不佳，因此预防的重要性应日益增加。慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者容易频繁急性加重，这是发病和死亡的重要原因。本综述是关于牙周炎与COPD之间可能关系的研究简要总结。
