Abstract
in English, French

Research into the interrelationships between oral and systemic diseases has been growing exponentially for over 20 years. Teeth and their supporting tissues can be affected by pathologies, particularly infectious ones, the consequences of which are felt locally in the oral cavity and at a distance in the body. Oral diseases frequently lead to the maintenance of an inflammatory state in oral bones and mucosa, which complicates the treatment of systemic inflammatory pathologies. The aim of this review is to take stock of current knowledge concerning the interrelationships that may exist between the oral environment and other organs, in both adults and children.

Title: Les dents et le milieu buccal au cœur de la santé globale.

Abstract: La recherche autour des interrelations existant entre les maladies orales et les maladies systémiques connaît une croissance exponentielle depuis plus de vingt ans. Les dents et leurs tissus de soutien peuvent être atteints de maladies, notamment infectieuses, dont les conséquences se font ressentir localement, dans la cavité buccale, mais aussi à distance dans l’organisme. Ces maladies conduisent fréquemment à l’entretien d’un état inflammatoire dans la cavité orale qui complique les traitements de maladies inflammatoires systémiques. L’objectif de cette revue est de dresser un état des lieux des connaissances actuelles concernant les interrelations qui peuvent exister, chez l’adulte comme chez l’enfant.
