Endometriosis Associated with Periodontal Disease: Two Case Reports

Endometriosis is a nonmalignant inflammatory condition characterized by the existence of estrogen-dependent endometrial tissue outside the uterus.

Both are defined by chronic inflammatory diseases linked to a compromised immune response. The concurrent alteration of immune modulator levels in individuals with endometriosis and periodontal disease led us to examine this relationship in the case reports.
