Periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis are very similar in that both are inflammatory in nature and result in tissue damage and loss. It has been hypothesized that these similarities may provide an association between the two diseases, in that Periodontal disease may influence rheumatoid arthritis and vice-versa.
