摘要

Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease that leads to significant periodontal tissue destruction and compromised dental health, with its severity exacerbated in individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). This review explores the complex relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and periodontitis in diabetic patients. Recent studies indicate that the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), primarily generated by dysfunctional mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complexes, contributes to oxidative stress (OS) and subsequent periodontal tissue damage. The interplay between impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, apoptosis of periodontal cells, and ROS accumulation highlights a critical area of concern in understanding the pathophysiology of diabetic periodontitis. Furthermore, altered glycemic control due to inflammatory processes associated with periodontitis may perpetuate a cyclical detriment to oral and systemic health. This review aims to highlight the mechanistic roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in the aggravation of periodontitis among diabetic patients, emphasizing further research to identify potential therapeutic targets and improve treatment efficacy for this dual pathology.
