Background
Periodontopathic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis produce a large amount of butyric acid as a metabolite. Though butyric acid has been reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect on inflammatory diseases in the gastrointestinal tract, it has been suggested to contribute to the progression of periodontal disease in the oral cavity. The concentration of butyric acid in periodontal tissue of patients with periodontitis patients is reported to increase with the progress of the periodontal disease state. However, the influence of butyric acid on periodontal disease progression is not well known.
