Objectives.
This paper aims to review the evidence on the potential roles of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with periodontal disease.
Data.
Original articles that reported on the risk factors for periodontal disease were included.
Sources.
MEDLINE (1980 to Jan 2014), PubMed (using medical subject headings), and Google Scholar were searched using the following terms in different combinations: “periodontal disease,” “periodontitis,” “risk factors,” and “causal.” This was supplemented by hand-searching in peer-reviewed journals and cross-referenced with the articles accessed.
Conclusions.
It is important to understand the etiological factors and the pathogenesis of periodontal disease to recognize and appreciate the associated risk factors.
As periodontal disease is multifactorial, effective disease management requires a clear understanding of all the associated risk factors.
