Method of Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis in Chronic Leukemia

Abstract

Chronic periodontitis represents a significant clinical challenge in patients diagnosed with chronic leukemia due to profound alterations in immune function, hematopoiesis, and tissue repair mechanisms. The coexistence of these two chronic conditions leads to mutual aggravation, where periodontal inflammation may exacerbate systemic complications, while leukemia-related immunosuppression accelerates periodontal tissue destruction. This article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach for managing chronic periodontitis in patients with chronic leukemia. The proposed method integrates individualized periodontal therapy, systemic medical coordination, antimicrobial control, and supportive care tailored to hematological status. Clinical outcomes demonstrate that a structured and cautious therapeutic strategy can significantly improve periodontal health, reduce inflammatory burden, and enhance overall quality of life without increasing hematological risks. The findings support the necessity of close collaboration between dental professionals and hematologists when treating this vulnerable patient population. Chronic periodontal inflammation in individuals affected by chronic leukemia poses a complex clinical scenario due to altered immune responses, vascular fragility, and impaired tissue regeneration. The coexistence of these conditions increases the risk of rapid periodontal breakdown and systemic complications. This section presents an expanded overview of how an integrated therapeutic strategy aimed at controlling oral inflammation while maintaining systemic stability can lead to favorable clinical outcomes. Emphasis is placed on individualized care, risk reduction, and the importance of coordinated medical and dental management to ensure both oral and overall health improvement in this medically compromised population.
