Abstract:

Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. The basic cause of obesity and overweight is the disarrangement between the energy spent on physical activities and metabolism and the amount of the energy gained by the way of nutrition. Overweight and obesity prevalence reached significant rates in developing and developed countries on various regions of the world. Obesity is regarded as a basic risk factor especially for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular system diseases and many other chronic inflammatory diseases and evolution of cancer. Although the biological mechanisms that betray the relationship between obesity and periodental diseases have not been fully illustrated, it's thought that the fat tissue derived cytokines and hormones may have an important role. These hormones and cytokines may assist pathogenesis of the other chronic inflammatory diseases by causing hyperinflammatory response. In recent years, many studies were carried out to explain the relationship between obesity and periodontal diseases. Aim of this compilation is to analyze the relationship between obesity and periodontitis under the illustration of actual information.
