1 Introduction Periodontitis is a globally prevalent chronic inflammatory disease triggered by dysregulation of oral biofilm and host immune responses, serving as the primary cause of adult tooth loss ( A multi-platform analysis of human gingival crevicular fluid reveals that ferroptosis is an associated regulated cell death mechanism during the clinical progression of periodontitis ( Porphyromonas gingivalis can actively induce ferroptosis through multiple pathways ( This review systematically summarizes the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in periodontitis, with a focus on how dysregulated iron metabolism, reprogrammed lipid metabolism, and suppressed antioxidant defenses in the periodontal microenvironment regulate ferroptosis
