Abstract

PD is an inflammatory illness affecting tissues that surrounds teeth. Co morbidities linked with PD are age, smoking, diabetes, hereditary, poor oral hygiene. These factors have been linked with severity of COVID-19, caused by virus namely corona virus “SARS-CoV-2.” As dysbiotic, inflammation and comorbidities disturb general well-being, it is probable that “periodontal status indicates the risk of complication of COVID-19”. Patients with COPD have a higher risk of provocation with COVID. Pregnancies can be complicated with co infection of SARS-CoV-2 with periodontal disease. Diabetic people also have PD probably because they are more prone to contract infections and higher chances to develop COVID-19 can also be increased with obesity and its consequences. Researchers have proved that aging is linked with PD and severe COVID-19 along with these factors. Smoking is the major risk factor in PD which leads to increase in enzyme ACE2; it's an important element for development of covid-19.
