Brief Summary  

•      PERIODONTITIS: is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory infectious disease resulting in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment and bone loss   characterized by pocket formation and/or recession of the gingiva.

•      RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: is a chronic systemic, auto immune, inflammatory disease affecting 0.5 - 1% of world population. It is characterized by synovial hyperplasia, inflammatory cell recruitment and intra articular fibrin deposition that leads to destruction of joint architecture and consequent disability. Continuous low-grade infections, autoimmune and genetic traits are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of RA

•      PERIODONTITIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: The possible association between RA and periodontitis has been investigated because of numerous similarities in pathological and immunological characteristics. In spite of, the differences in etiologies of RA, and periodontitis, there are similar biological processes involved which may represent direct links between these two conditions.

•      NONSURGICALPERIODONTAL THERAPY:

Scaling and rootplaning (SRP) is the cornerstone of periodontal therapy. It has been observed that the severity of RA in patients improved after SRP.

•      OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS. Have well documented anti-inflammatory properties, and consequently therapeutic potential in chronic inflammatory diseases.

•      NUCLEAR FACTOR KAPPA B  : is a pro inflammatory marker which is elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions and shows association with microbial load and,cytokine release.
