Aim: The present study is undertaken to assess any possible association between obesity and periodontal diseases among Saudi women in Asir region.
Materials And Methods: A total number of 100 obese subjects in the age group between 16 and 35 years participated in the study. A questionnaire which consisted of anthropometric measurements [neck circumference (NC) ≥ 34 cm for women] and demographic features was used. Periodontal status was assessed for the subjects.
Results: The periodontal disease shows significant association with anthropometric measurements (NC ≥ 34 cm for women) and demographic features.
Conclusion: The findings of this prospective study showed possible relationship between obesity and periodontal disease.
Clinical Significance: In view of changing lifestyle with dietary habits, there is a possibility of developing obesity. The results in this research show a direct relationship between obesity and periodontal diseases by measuring body mass index (BMI) and NC in the age group of 16 to 35 years females in Saudi Arabia. Thus, it helps in preventing and managing obesity, especially among youth.

Recent demographic developments resulted in an aged society with a rising disease burden of systemic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In cardiovascular disease (CVD), a NCD with high morbidity and mortality, recent preventive strategies include the investigation of comorbidities to reduce its significant economic burden. Periodontal disease, an oral bacterial-induced inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissue, is regulated in its prevalence and severity by the individual host response to a dysbiotic oral microbiota.

The occurrence of oral bone tissue degeneration and bone defects by osteoporosis, tooth extraction, obesity, trauma, periodontitis, and congenital defects are major challenges for clinicians. Traditional bone regeneration methods, although exhibiting efficacy to a certain degree, often come with limitations such as donor site morbidity, limitation of special shape, inflammation, and resorption of the implanted bone. The treatment oriented with biomimetic bone materials has achieved significant attention recently.

Background: Obesity, depressive symptoms, and periodontitis are major worldwide health concerns. Despite separate studies on both illnesses, no research has directly examined the link between depressive symptoms and periodontitis in obese people. Given the close correlation between obesity and chronic illnesses, as well as the possibility of a bidirectional impact between depressive symptoms and periodontitis, this study aims to investigate the link between depressive symptoms and periodontitis in an obese population.

The pediatric population is one of the social groups most affected by oral pathology, and overweight and/or obesity is increasingly frequently observed. This work presents a study of the prevalence of oral disease in the school population in Mallorca and its relationship with overweight/obesity. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 718 students aged 5-6 ( = 255), 12 ( = 230) and 15 years ( = 233).
