Abstract(s)
Position du problème: La parodontite chronique et l’édentement sont des affections buccodentaires chroniques qui, depuis quelques décennies, sont incriminées dans la survenue de différents types de cancers. Cette revue de littérature avait pour but d’examiner l’association entre le cancer colorectal et ces affections buccodentaires.
Résultats: Les études épidémiologiques évaluant une association potentielle entre la parodontite, l’édentement et le cancer colorectal sont peu nombreuses. Cependant, plusieurs mécanismes plaident en faveur de cette association, notamment l’inflammation, la nutrition et possiblement l’infection par certains pathogènes, comme le suggère cette revue de la littérature. Background: Chronic periodontitis and tooth loss are chronic oral conditions that, in recent decades, have been implicated in the occurence of certain types of cancer. In this review, we address the question of whether colorectal cancer is associated with these oral conditions.
Results: Epidemiological studies evaluating a potential association between periodontitis, tooth loss and colorectal cancer are scarce. However, several mechanisms argue in favor of this association, notably inflammation, nutrition and possibly infection by specific bacteria, as suggested by this literature review.
