The objective of the study was to explore periodontitis as a risk factor for cancer. The method used was a general literature study where the search for scientific articles was done in the medical database PubMed. The results of the literature study were compiled based on 14 scientific articles. The results in 13 of 14 articles showed that there was a significant association between cancer and periodontitis. The conclusion is that the literature study showed periodontitis as a risk factor for cancer despite that cancer and periodontitis are defined differently in the articles.
