The impact of periodontitis on the general health status is biologically plausible, via translocated circulating oral microbiota, which may directly or indirectly induce systemic inflammation. Although endodontic infections cause a local tissue response, there is compelling evidence that like periodontitis, chronic inflammatory processes of endodontic origin may also contribute to systemic inflammation, compromising the patient\u2019s general health status .<\/p>\n<p>This is not surprising at all, as the microbiota of periodontal and endodontic diseases are quite similar.
