Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review focuses on recent advances in understanding the periodontal host response in obese subjects.
Recent Findings
Increased pro-inflammatory adipokines such as leptin, progranulin, resistin, and visfatin and decreased anti-inflammatory adipokines such as adiponectin, exacerbated inflammatory response, alveolar bone resorption, and inhibition of tissue regeneration have been observed in the periodontal tissue in obese subjects. Elevated oxidative stress also affects progression of periodontitis. Obesity may affect the expression of microRNAs related to inflammatory and metabolic mRNA targets in periodontal tissue.
Summary
Although obesity may promote the progression of periodontitis in multiple manners, additional studies are needed to clarify the periodontal host response in obesity.
