Chronic Periodontitis and Erectile Dysfunction

摘要

We read the article by Oguz et al. [1] with great interest. The cited study is an interesting contribution to the literature. The relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and periodontal disease is explored. The cited authors conclude that an association exists between clinical periodontal parameters and ED. Further, they suggest that periodontal disease should be considered when it is sought to understand the etiology of ED in young adults. However, we suggest that these findings should be viewed with caution because some necessary data are lacking.
