Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Genomic Evidence on Antihypertensive Drug Targets and Oral Disease Outcomes
Key Findings Drug‐target Mendelian randomization showed little evidence that genetically proxied on‐target pharmacological actions of most antihypertensive drug classes were associated with chronic periodontitis or dental caries. The diazoxide–periodontitis association requires cautious interpretation, given possible residual pleiotropy at KCNJ11 and ...
