Utility of Periodontal exploration in patients with Fibromyalgia
Objetive: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome with unknown etiology, which affects predominantly
women. Mitochondrial alteration could have a role in the pathophysilogical mechanisms of inflammatory conditions
as FM and periodontitis. The aim of the present study was assay the relationship between both diseases and
mitochondrial dysfunction.
Patients and methods: We study the presence of periodontitis in twelve patients diagnosed of FM and mitochondrial
dysfunction described. The diagnosis of FM was established according to ACR criteria and clinical symptoms
were evaluated using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Results: Only one patients of twelve included and agreed to participate in the study were diagnosed with periodontitis.
Conclusions: Pending studies with larger numbers of patients, we can conclude that mitochondrial dysfunction
in FM is a itself event not related with periodontitis. Periodontitis could be considered a exclusion criterion in all
studies about mitochondrial dysfunction in patient
