EFFECT AND IMPORTANCE OF MICROELEMENTS AND CARBOHYDRATES IN PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Abstract

Periodontal diseases are common in developed and developing countries and affect approximately 20-50% of the world's population. The high prevalence of periodontal disease in adolescents, adults and the elderly makes it a public health problem. A number of risk factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, medications, age, genetics, and stress are associated with periodontal disease. Over the past few decades, increasing evidence has shown the effects of diet and nutrients on the oral cavity. This review aims to describe the role of diet, nutrients and micronutrients in periodontal disease based on current knowledge.Exposure to factors that contribute to periodontitis occurs over a long period of time, so it can be difficult to identify and evaluate the factors that contributed to its development at the time of diagnosis. Taking into account these processes, periodontal disease is polyetiological. It is a disease, the known causes of which are the violation of the diet and the lack of macroelements and microelements in the body, which is reflected in current research
