Researchers have long speculated that autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are possibly triggered or caused by microorganisms.
Links between periodontal disease, changes in the oral and intestinal microbiome and RA have been known, but what exactly links them all has yet to be discovered.

Another analysis has shown that antibodies for certain types of bacteria are associated with periodontal disease and may play a role in the development of RA.
