    Abstract:

    Currently, many countries have rapidly stepped into the aging society and the elderly population is growing sharply. The aging process is accompanied by a series of changes in the immune system, which is known as “immunosenescence” and leads to an increase in the incidence of various infections and mortality from geriatric diseases, increasing the demand for healthcare in all counties. Periodontitis is chronic inflammation of periodontal tissue caused by an interaction between pathogenic bacteria and host immune system, which has shown a rising trend in vulnerability and periodontal destruction in the elderly population. It seriously affects both physical and mental health of the elderly and increases the medical burden. This article reviews the effects of senescence and immunosenescence on periodontitis, especially the effects of aging on immune cells, which include innate immune cells and adaptive immune cells, on periodontitis.
