Melatonin and Periodontal Health
The American Academy of Periodontology posted an article on their website:
'Salivary Melatonin May Decrease Periodontal Disease Severity According to New Study Findings' which alludes to a relatively unknown benefit of the hormone melatonin.
The article indicates a possible role for salivary melatonin in maintaining periodontal health. A study published in the Journal of Periodontology was cited as the basis for the belief. Periodontal disease entails inflammation. Bone and other teeth supporting tissue can be destroyed as a consequence of the inflammation.
Melatonin, is a hormone synthesized in the pineal gland. A protective capacity against free radicals, produced by inflammation, may impact periodontal health. The article also mentions that melatonin supplements have been used for jet lag and to facilitate sleeping.
The study cited a correspondence between melatonin ratios and periodontal disease.
