Periodontal Inflammation in Patients with Iron Deficiency

Abstract

iron deficiency in the body is an important medical and social problem, causing the development of such a common pathology as iron deficiency anemia, in which the metabolism of proteins and minerals is disrupted, which leads to functional and morphological changes in all organs, including the tissues of the mucous membrane oral cavity and periodontium. In addition, the number of cases of iron deficiency is increasing, which also leads to a hypoxic state in the body, as a result of which the trophism of the oral mucosa, including organs and systems, is disrupted, resulting in the development of caries and periodontal diseases that affect the quality of life of patients.
