Abstract:- Periodontitis is a multifactorial, chronic disease followed by destruction of supporting structures of teeth. Besides bacteria, viruses can also be present within periodontal pockets. The role of viruses such as Herpes viruses mainly Herpes Simplex viruses 1 and 2, Human Cytomegalo virus, Epstein Barr virus is significant, as they may induce abnormalities in the adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and bactericidal activities of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The frequent occurrence of herpesviruses in various types of severe periodontal disease makes the participation of herpesvirus species in the etiology of periodontitis a distinct possibility.
Key words:- Herpesviruses, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, periodontitis. |
