Abstract: Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and periodontal disease are chronic inflammatory diseases caused by infection, and the clinical manifestations of both involve the destruction of connective tissue. This article reviews the epidemiological situation, common risk factors, and related biological mechanisms of the two. Literature review results show that periodontitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can influence each other. The homology of infection bacteria, inflammatory factors and neutrophil inflammation are all involved in the process of the two diseases, and the common risk factors for both There are aging, poor socioeconomic status, smoking, etc., but further research is needed to clarify the specific mechanism of the interaction between periodontitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Key words: Periodontitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Epidemiology, Inflammatory cytokines, Bacteria, Neutrophils, Matrix metalloproteinase
