[Prevalence and severity of chronic parodontitis and oral mucosal lesions in chronic obstructive lung disease].

However, it is not clear whether the COPD-associated systemic inflammation aggravated the oral status or the chronic parodontitis influenced negatively chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
