Abstract :
Alzheimer’s disease is a condition where the brain gradually deteriorates, leading to problems with thinking and memory. Scientists have recently found a strong connection between long-term gum disease, especially infections caused by a specific bacteria called Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the development of AD. This article aimed to find if there is a relation between Porphyromonas gingivalis and Alzheimer’s disease. Several studies found that this bacterium forms inflammation in the brain by triggering the brain and forming amyloid beta plaques, which damage the brain cells. Therefore, take good care of your teeth to prevent yourself from Alzheimer’s disease
