Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of significant vision impairment in individuals aged 50 and older, primarily impacting central vision. This study seeks to investigate potential associations between periodontal disease and age-related maculopathy in the analyzed clinical case. A male subject of 66 years old, with age-related degenerative maculopathy and severe periodontal disease, was evaluated and treated. After an initial phase of non-surgical causal periodontal therapy, the periodontal indices were re-evaluated. In addition, the extraction of hopeless teeth replaced by dental implants was performed. A retinal topography was used to assess possible regression of the pathology, and proper anti-VEGF therapy was administered. The results showed a regression of periodontal disease and an improvement of the degenerative maculopathy. These preliminary results, even if encouraging, should be supported by larger prospective trials.

牙周病与年龄相关性黄斑病变1例报告。
年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)是50岁及以上人群视力受损的主要原因,主要影响中央视力。本研究旨在调查牙周病与年龄相关性黄斑病变之间的潜在关联。66岁男性受试者,患有年龄相关性退行性黄斑病变和严重牙周病,评估和治疗。在最初阶段的非手术牙周治疗后,重新评估牙周指标。此外,还进行了用种植体代替无希望牙的拔牙。视网膜地形图用于评估可能的病理消退,并给予适当的抗vegf治疗。结果显示牙周病的消退和退行性黄斑病变的改善。这些初步结果即使令人鼓舞,也应该得到更大规模前瞻性试验的支持。
