Introduction. Periodontal diseases remain one of the most common dental pathologies among the adult population and represent a significant medical and social problem. Workers employed in metal processing enterprises are constantly exposed to unfavorable occupational factors, including industrial dust, metal aerosols, vibration, noise, elevated temperatures, and chemical compounds. Long-term exposure to these factors may contribute to the development and progression of inflammatory periodontal diseases.
