| Abstract | ||||
| Periodontal disease is a chronic infectious disease of the tissues surrounding the teeth that result in tooth loss. It affects up to 50% of the adult population worldwide. Serious periodontitis has been reported as the sixth most common infection around the world. Periodontal disease has been associated with liver disease. Moreover, dental infections may impact the clinical course of liver disease. Furthermore, untreated dental problems can lead to infections and sepsis and may cause many complications in liver transplanted patients. The results of studies documented high levels of dental management among patientswith chronic liver diseases. Therefore, periodontitis in patients with chronic liver disease need to be detected early and treated under collaborative of hepatologist and dentist in order to prevent progression of chronic liver disease | ||||
