Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease of mutifactorial origin, where there is increase in body fat. The global obesity epidemic has been described by the World Health Organization as one of the most blatantly visible but yet most neglected, public health problems that threatens to overwhelm both more and less developed countries. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of tooth supporting tissues resulting in destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Periodontitis and obesity are both chronic health problems and the literature supports this association. A hyperinflammatory state observed in obesity is proposed as a mechanism to explain this association. This low grade inflammation in obese subjects triggers the worsening of non transmissible chronic diseases like periodontitis.
