Biomedical Science and Research Journals | The Use of Metronidazole for Treating Parasitic Infections Improves the Periodontal Health

The present study reviewed the literature regarding the impacts of using metronidazole for treating parasitic infections in improving the periodontal health. The prevalence of chronic periodontitis varies between 15-30% among general population. Two important aspects have been discussed, the involvement of using metronidazole treatment for other diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. The other aspect is the existence of patients with poor oral hygiene and accepted gingival health status. We put the link through the use of metronidazole for other diseases such as parasitic infections, which indirectly improves the periodontal and gingival health. 
As a conclusion, from a clinical point of view, patients with poor oral hygiene are expected to develop chronic periodontitis, but due to previous treatments for other diseases including parasitic infections that involve the use of metronidazole, the periodontum health has been improved. Accordingly, it is suggested to take this into consideration in assessment patients with poor oral hygiene.Periodontal diseases are considered as chronic inflammations that are attributed to the infection of the gingiva (gingivitis) and underlying parts of the periodontium such as periodontitis. Periodontal diseases are characterized by their complexity and involving of interfering multifactorial agents.
