Effects of Aging on Periodontal Pathogenesis and Wound Repair: A Scoping Review.
Key Points
To examine how aging affects susceptibility to periodontal disease and the process of wound healing.
Conducted a scoping review of literature on aging and periodontal health.
Identified key factors influencing periodontal disease as people age.
Analyzed the relationship between aging and wound repair mechanisms.
Found significant increases in susceptibility to periodontal disease with age.
Reported a decline in wound healing efficiency in older populations.
Abstract
Our study highlights significant changes in periodontal disease susceptibility along with impaired wound healing during aging, with implications for future research and clinical management.
