2010 - 2013, Postgraduate student. Endometriosis is a common and important health problem of women. Evidence indicates alternations in the immune response in women with endometriosis, which may affect the body's natural ability to recognize and destroy any misdirected growth of endometrial tissue. Since both endometriosis and periodontal disease have been shown to be associated with altered levels of immune modulators, the aim of this study was to investigate whether or not an association exists between endometriosis and periodontal disease.
