Relationship between Necrotizing Periodontitis and Novel Corona Virus: An Updated Review

Abstract

The present study highlights the Relationship between Necrotizing Periodontitis and Novel Corona Virus. Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP) is a severe inflammatory periodontal disease caused by bacterial plaque that normally takes a short time to develop. Poor oral hygiene is thought to be a primary ecological stressor that causes dysbiosis in complex microbial populations in the mouth. This article introduces the possibility of patients suffering from Periodontitis at an increased risk of COVID-19 related adverse outcomes, possibly adding, after due clinical validation, to the existing list of conditions predisposing to developing severe forms of the disease. This study also introduces the possibility of patients suffering from Periodontitis at an increased risk of COVID-19 related adverse outcomes, possibly adding, after due clinical validation, to the existing list of conditions predisposing to developing severe forms of the disease.
