Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease, the origin of which remains incomprehensible. Various researches have shown that many systemic diseases either cause or exaggerate the course of certain periodontal conditions. Periodontal tissue integrity basically depends upon proper intake of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and mineral salts. Nutritional imbalance provokes more destruction in the periodontium of which vitamins, which are the main constituent in maintaining the integrity of the periodontal tissues share a pivotal role in the deficient state predisposing an individual to periodontitis.Therefore, balancing the vitamin requirement status in an individual can prevent periodontal tissue breakdown with respect to other systemic illness. Accordingly, a synchronised inter-disciplinary approach can be emphasized with precise diagnosis of the nutritional status of an individual, creating a therapeutic approach in the management of periodontal destruction. Therefore,nutritional deficiencies adversely affect the periodontal health status.This paper reviews the relationship between the nutrition especially vitamins in periodontal health and diseases.
