Revisión   Bibliográfica: Disfunción Eréctil y Enfermedad Periodontal

The association between periodontal disease and erectile dysfunction has not been sufficiently studied. However, recent studies have reported a possible link based on mutually shared risks factors between both pathologies, but the association is fundamentally attributed to endothelial dysfunction, phenomenon that is related to both diseases. It has been suggested that chronic periodontal disease can induce systemic inflammatory response that results in deterioration of the physiological and biochemical conditions of the endothelium causing endothelial dysfunction. On the other hand, erectile dysfunction is a multifactorial disease, but the vasculogenic factor is considered as the most frequent one, attributed to a vascular defect (en-dothelial dysfunction). So, the strongest link is the vascular function alteration, which undoubtedly demonstrates demonstrates a solid argument of association between both diseases. The objective of this literature review is to report the possible mechanisms of association between periodontal disease and erectile dysfunction, focusing mainly on endothelial dysfunction as the main existing link.

Key Aspects

This article reviews the key aspects of reducing the litigation aspects of the management of periodontal diseases and in particular periodontitis. Litigation arising from gingivitis, the other type of periodontal disease, is very rare and is therefore not considered in this article. This paper considers diagnosis, record keeping, communication, management of periodontitis including non-engaging patients and referrals. It provides guidance to reduce risks and improve the care for patients.

The Relationship

Background: Chronic periodontitis is related to individual characteristics. However, it is precisely infectious in nature with the possibility of generating a chronic systemic inflammatory response that could favour its association with diseases, such as endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, CVD, and diabetes. Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship of endothelial dysfunction measured by flow-mediated vasodilation in the brachial artery with periodontal disease and other possible factors. Methods: A case-control study was carried out in which those who had periodontitis were defined as cases, and those who were periodontally healthy or had gingivitis were defined as controls. A clinical history was obtained from all patients, and all patients underwent biofilm control and periodontal examinations. Blood tests were performed to determine CBC, glycaemia, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels, and standardized procedures were used to measure flow-mediated dilation. Results: A total of 202 patients were included in this study: 101 controls [healthy/gingivitis] and 101 cases [periodontitis]. Regarding sex, glycaemia [p = 0.019] and triglycerides [p = 0.001] levels and initial flow-mediated vasodilation [p = 0.001] and final flow-mediated vasodilation [p = 0.001] values were higher in men, while HDL values were lower [p = 0.001. The average age was higher for those in the group that presented dysfunction than for those in the group without dysfunction [p = 0.014]. When analyzing the percentage of patients with endothelial dysfunction in each of the groups, there were very few positive results obtained [5 per group]. Conclusion: Initial and final arterial vasodilation was lower in women than in men. Likewise, there were more cases of endothelial dysfunction in women. In this study, patients with endothelial dysfunction were older. Periodontitis was not associated with endothelial dysfunction.

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases that cause lesions of the dento-periodontal system and can even lead to the loss of teeth. A successful treatment of periodontal diseases includes procedures aimed at reducing inflammation, by mechanical and chemical means, which have the role to decrease the pathogenicity of microorganisms found in the bacterial plaque. The study was conducted on a group of 50 patients, of whom a control group of 25 patients followed conventional periodontal treatment, while the other 25 patients received magnesium-terpene therapy by using polymeric thermoforming mouth custom trays, along with conventional periodontal treatment. The statistical and clinical assessment of the study revealed the efficiency of the magnesium-terpene active gel for the treatment of periodontal disease.

Objective To scrutinize the assumed association between chronic periodontal disease and preterm low birth weight (PTLB) infants. Design Prospective study. Setting Tanta University Hospital. Patients The study incorporated 200 pregnant women in the first stage of labor of a single baby with intact membranes. A hundred women had definite preterm labor and delivered, later live infants whose birth weight were < 2500 g and 100 women with full term labor and delivered, later live infants weighting ≥2500 g. Intervention All patients included in the study were subjected to history taking, general, obstetrical examination and periodontal evaluation. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were measured in gingival cervicular fluid, maternal serum and amniotic fluid using ELISA technique. Results A significant association between chronic periodontal disease and preterm low birth weight infants. Conclusion Screening of pregnant women chronic periodontal disease seems to be a helpful prediction and consequently prevention of preterm labour.

Subgingival Microbiota

The etiology of polymicrobial disease such as periodontitis is likely to be more complex than suggested by the traditional paradigm of disease involving a single virulent organism which up to now has been believed. This review limits its discussion to the other subgingival microbiota which is not yet cultivable, however it is suggested be implicated with the severity of periodontal disease. The intricate interactions between viruses and bacteria within periodontal pockets as a co-infection process reveal its role in the etio-pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Also Archaea domain participate in syntrophic relationship with the microbiota life members in the subgingival crevice, promote colonization by special bacterial group during periodontitis. It is clear that periodontal diseases are not monoinfections.
