| dc.description.abstract | Summary
Researchers are combining efforts to
better understand SARS- CoV-2, and recent
findings point to the importance of cytokine
storms. Elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels
can predict COVID-19 pulmonary complications. Dental professionals play a significant
role because periodontitis can increase IL-6
levels locally and systemically. Periodontal
treatment has positive effects in systemic
inflammation, and the importance of oral
hygiene and periodontal health for respiratory conditions and COVID-19 should not be
underestimated. | en_US |
