Abstract in brief

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including periodontitis, can be largely prevented through lifestyle changes like increased physical activity, which has recently been linked to improved periodontal health.
Despite showing a link between physical activity levels and lower periodontitis risk in the general population, elite athletes exhibit poor periodontal health, highlighting a complex relationship.
Further research, including longitudinal studies and interventions, is needed to understand how physical activity impacts periodontitis and to confirm its effectiveness in improving periodontal treatment outcomes.
