Summary

Periodontal disease is defined as "an inflammatory disease of the tooth supportive structure caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone with increased probing depth formation, recession, or both". According to WHO, overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. Body mass index (BMI) can be considered as an indicator of obesity-related health risks. Obesity was considered a global epidemic problem by the World Health Organization in the 1990s as it has increased internationally over the last decades. Based on review in 2003 the periodontal disease onset, progression and response to therapeutic interventions have been shown to be influenced by several systemic, local and environmental modifying factors and the data collected from the literature suggests that nutritional supplementation has been suggested as a possible influencing factor on periodontal status and wound healing.
