Periodontitis involves the inflammation of periodontal tissue, leading to tissue loss, while coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmissible respiratory caused by severe acute syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which amplified poor systemic health. Key facilitators SARS-CoV-2's entry into host cells are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) and transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2). This review reveals that pockets can serve as hotspot for virus accumulation, rendering surrounding epithelia more susceptible infection. Given ACE2 expressed in oral mucosa, it reasonable suggest health could increase risk COVID-19 However, recent studies have not provided sufficient evidence imply significant effect on health, necessitating further long-term investigations. Nevertheless, there hypotheses linking mechanisms two diseases, such involvement interleukin-17 (IL-17). Elevated IL-17 levels observed both periodontitis, increased osteoclast activity bone resorption. Lastly, bidirectional relationships between periodontitis diseases like diabetes acknowledged. symptoms may worsen with these conditions, maintaining good managing suggested potential ways protect against COVID-19.
