Periodontal Disease in Patients With Lynch Syndrome
Sponsor: Rotundo Roberto
Summary
The field of human microbiome research has undergone a revolution in its approach toward understanding how microorganisms influence the physiology of their host 1. The influence of the oral microbiota is not confined to this location 2. Periodontitis is a "chronic inflammatory disease associated with dysbiotic plaque biofilms and characterized by a progressive destruction of the tooth supporting apparatus"3. Given these observations, the central research question of the present study is to determine the prevalence of periodontitis in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) compared with reference prevalence estimates from the general population40.
