Periodontitis and Oxidative Stress: Human Studies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Studies on Periodontal Disease

Abstract

The knowledge of the pathogenic effects of oxidative stress in the periodontium, discussed in previous chapters, has stimulated several lines of research into the associations between redox status and periodontitis. Human studies in this topic range from epidemiological to treatment studies. This chapter will discuss the poorly researched topic of redox proteins in periodontal diseases and will review the association between measures of oxidative stress and presence of periodontitis. Particular emphasis will be placed on the potential role of periodontal disease pathogenic factors to determine both local and systemic oxidative stress fingerprints, measured as damage to lipids, proteins, or DNA.
