Breaking Down the Barrier: Understanding How Magnesium Deficiency Contributes to Periodontitis

Abstract

A common disturbing dental malaise which ultimately results in low quality of life is periodontitis, a chronic bacterial infections disease that is caused by the dental plaque biofilm. Both tissues and blood need enough magnesium, this is a natural and one of essential minerals that is highly abundant in the human body. Different diseases due to a magnesium deficiency can be formed. Results from clinical and nutritional data supported this hypothesis. However, The relationship between magnesium deficiency and periodontitis requires further research. This paper examines some possible ways in which these two are connected. This article focuses on presenting a valuable and resourceful material for those who are eager to acknowledge the role that magnesium level plays in periodontal disease as well as providing potential means to the creation of advanced and effective periodontitis prevention and treatment approaches.
