Obesity is a multifaceted subject. It has increased at an alarming rate in recent years. Being overweight increases the likelihood of a patient having associated health and social problems which may affect dental services and dental management. A review of the literature on obesity and periodontal disease suggested that they both confound each other and obesity itself has been recognized as a major risk factor for periodontal disease. It has been found that adverse effects of obesity on the periodontium may be mediated through pro-inflammatory cytokines and various other bioactive substances. This article tries to focus on the possible role of obesity and obesity-related diseases like diabetes and coronary heart diseases (CHD), as a potential contributor to periodontal disease and vice versa. The meanings of these associations can be useful for various diagnostic and treatment planning purposes.
肥胖是一个多方面的问题。近年来，其增长速度惊人。超重会增加患者出现相关健康和社会问题的可能性，这些问题可能会影响牙科服务和牙科治疗管理。一项关于肥胖与牙周病的文献综述表明，二者相互影响，而且肥胖本身已被公认为是牙周病的一个主要危险因素。研究发现，肥胖对牙周组织的不良影响可能是通过促炎细胞因子和各种其他生物活性物质介导的。本文试图聚焦于肥胖以及糖尿病和冠心病等与肥胖相关的疾病，探讨它们作为牙周病潜在促成因素的可能作用，反之亦然。这些关联的意义对于各种诊断和治疗规划目的可能是有用的。
