Abstract:

Periodontitis is chronic inflammation of periodontal tissues caused by plaque microorganisms. Oxidative stress, as a redox imbalance produced by the body under harmful stimulation, can promote the destruction of periodontal tissues, which has been proved to be closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis. The use of antioxidants as adjunctive therapy to restore the balance of oxidative/antioxidant status has become a hot research topic in recent years. This article will review the research progress of oxidative stress and antioxidant adjuvant therapy for periodontitis.

Key words: periodontitis, oxidative stress, antioxidant adjuvant therapy
