| Summary: | Aim. The combination of rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis may have an adverse prognostic significance for both diseases. Methods and results.

It was established that markers of activity and aggression of rheumatoid arthritis, such as the presence of rheumatoid factor, antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide and increased level of TNF-α, play a key role in the progression of periodontitis. |
