HLHao LiangHuzhou University WYWenlei YuZhejiang Chinese Medical University ZHZeyang HanHuzhou University

Key Points

This research aims to understand how periodontal disease impacts the progression of Alzheimer’s disease through specific pathways.
Examined the relationship between periodontal disease and neuroinflammation.
Investigated the roles of olfactory and salivary gland pathways.
Considered early diagnostic indicators linked to Alzheimer’s susceptibility.
Periodontal disease was found to contribute significantly to neuroinflammation related to Alzheimer’s.
Olfactory dysfunction and salivary gland hypofunction are emerging as early diagnostic indicators for Alzheimer’s risk.

Abstract

Periodontal disease-mediated neuroinflammation constitutes a pivotal mechanistic pathway linking oral dysbiosis to AD onset. OD and salivary gland hypofunction emerge as promising early diagnostic indicators for periodontal disease-associated AD susceptibility, warranting prospective clinical validation.
