Exploring the Association between Atopic Dermatitis and Oral Health
Abstract: This review explores the intriguing interconnection between atopic dermatitis (AD) and periodontitis by reviewing diverse studies. Studies examining cytokine and protease levels in gingival crevicular fluid have shown elevated IL-31, a key mediator in AD, potentially linking it to periodontal disease progression. Studies on oral symptoms highlight significant associations between AD and poor oral health. Animal studies have shown AD to exacerbate periodontitis and correlate with its severity. These findings illuminate potential pathophysiological links between AD and Periodontitis, urging further research into common mechanisms and offering prospects for novel personalized therapeutic interventions targeting this relationship.
