Clinical case: chronic generalized periodontitis in a patient, which have infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis

Today, dental diseases with comorbid pathology are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Early studies have shown that there is a connection between the development and course of chronic infectious diseases, including pulmonary tuberculosis, and an imbalance in lipid peroxidation processes, endogenous intoxication, as well as local and general inflammatory process and dysfunction of the immune system. At the same time, scientists are still puzzled by the role of the main pathophysiological and pathogenetic factors in the development and progression of periodontal diseases in patients with chronic infectious pathology. The purpose of this literature review was to analyze the factors affecting the dental status, including pulmonary tuberculosis, as a comorbid disease. Further study of this problem and preventive measures can significantly reduce the quantitative indicator of these diseases.
