Abstract: The gut microbiota is the largest microbial community in the human body. Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiota is closely related to the health of the whole body. The gut dysbiosis plays an important role in obesity, heart disease, autism, diabetes, et al. Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases, manifested as alveolar bone loss, tooth loosening, etc. Recent studies have shown that periodontitis can affect the gut microbiota. This article discusses the effect of periodontitis on the gut microbiota, possible routes, and factors of oral microbiota to influence gut microbiota, in order to provide reference for exploring the correlation between periodontitis and gut microbiota.

Key words: periodontitis, gut microbiota, oral microbiota
