Viruses in the etio-pathogenesis of periodontitis. role of human herpes virus (hhv)

Tahira Ashraf, Dr. Suhail majid jan and Dr. Roobal Behal

Abstract: 

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease. It is a result of complex interplay of pathogens, host and environment. Among the pathogenic organisms, the role of bacteria is fully explained. However the recent researches have focussed on other pathogens in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Several studies have proved the association between viruses and periodontal diseases especially human herpes virus (HHV).The main aim of this review is to summarizes the evidence that link various herpes viruses to periodontitis, and to explain the possible mechanisms behind this process.
