Abstract: Oral health is closely related to general health. Periodontal disease, an oral infectious disease occurring at periodontal tissues, might be related to some systemic diseases. Some studies show that male infertility might be related to some oral diseases, especially to periodontal diseases. However, its mechanism of action remains uncertain and there are two hypotheses supporting this association,namely,the chronic infection of periodontal bacteria and the effect of cytokines. This article aims to review the association between periodontal condition and male infertility and the possible mechanism of the action.
