Abstract

The multifaceted role of chronic inflammation in multistep carcinogenesis has been extensively investigated and well documented. Periodontal diseases are associated with multifactorial agents, including bacterial endotoxins and the generation of an inflammatory response, indicating that poor oral health is associated with a variety of systemic diseases. The association between poor oral health, chronic inflammation, smoking, and increased alcohol consumption as risk factors for tumorogenesis is well established. More recently, associations between oral health and tooth loss and gastric, lung, and pancreatic cancers have been explored, with some studies pointing to smoking and oral health as a common link with an increased risk for malignant disease. In addition, epidemiological studies consistently indicate increased risks of various cancers with periodontal disease or poor oral condition caused by oral bacteria, which may activate alcohol- and smoking-related carcinogens locally or act through chronic inflammation. Appropriate oral care is vital in preventing cancer, as well as many other diseases. Thus, research on the correlation between oral care and periodontal inflammation and cancer is required. This review highlights the association between oral health and the risk of certain malignancies, such as periodontal disease-associated chemoprevention of inflammation" in this sentence.

만성적인 염증이 다단계 발암과정에서 다면적인 역할을 하고 있음은 이미 잘 알려진 사실이다. 치주 질환의 원인은 구강 박테리아에서 분비되는 내독소들과 염증 유발인자들의 생성 등이 관여하는 다양한 요인들을 포함하며, 이는 잘못된 구강 위생 관리가 신체의 여러 가지 전신병적 원인과 연관되어 있음을 의미한다. 비위생적인 구강 상태와 연관된 만성 염증, 흡연, 알콜 섭취의 증가 등은 암의 발병 위험 요소로 작용함은 명확한 사실이다. 최근에는 구강 위생과 치아 손실이 위장관암, 폐암 및 췌장암 뿐만 아니라 혈구암 발병 증가와 직접적인 연관성이 있음이 밝혀졌다. 또한 흡연은 악성 질환 발병의 위험 요소로서 구강 위생의 강력한 위해요인임은 명백하며, 역학적 조사결과들에 의하면 구강 박테리아에 의한 치주 질환은 만성 염증을 통하여 흡연과 알콜 연관 발암원을 활성시킴으로서 다양한 암의 발병 위험 요소를 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 암 뿐만 아니라 다른 다양한 질환의 예방을 위한 적절한 구강 관리는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 암예방을 위한 악성질환의 위해 요소로서 염증과 치주질환 및 구강 위생과의 연관성을 논하였다.
