Abstract: Periodontitis is a common oral inflammatory disease. An enormous amount of literature has reported that periodontitis is closely related to systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, premature low-birth weight infants and so on. Periodontitis and prostate diseases have similar risk factors. Age, smoking, obesity and diabetes, as well as inflammatory stimulation, have a significant impact on the disease. This article mainly reviews the research status of the relationship between periodontitis and prostate diseases, common influencing factors, and related biological mechanisms.

Key words: periodontitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, prostate-specific antigen, androgen deprivation therapy
