%X The main purpose of this work is to investigate studies relating periodontal bacteria  to  systemic  diseases,  identifying  periodontal  disease  as  a  risk  factor  to systemic  diseases  along  with  reviewing  the  effects  of  preventive  measures  and periodontal treatment on the progression of their pathogenesis. Methodology: A systematic review was performed, using a total of 49 articles and two books in the English language through different search engines such as MedLine and PubMed, including various types of studies and general information about periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Results:Several  evidential  studies  supporting  the  thesis  of  the  association  of periodontal  pathogens  and  systemic  diseases.  The  most  common  diseases  being identified  are  Cardiovascular  Disease,  Respiratory  Diseases,  Diabetes  Mellitus,  and Alzheimer’s Disease. Discussion:Overall, a  potential  link  between periodontal pathogens  and  systematic diseases  was  demonstrated, but  further  studies  are  required  to  prove  the  true relationship between them,  especially in regards of Alzheimer’s. More studies have to investigate a wider variety of periodontal bacteria as well as focusing more on whether non-surgical  or  surgical  periodontal  treatment  may  decrease  the  risk  of  developing systemic diseases.  Conclusion: The most common diseases related to periodontal bacteria are identified and show a positive correlation. Dentists and medical professionals have to be aware of the impact periodontal bacteria have on general health to develop better prevention and treatment plans.
